Press the "Basic setting" softkey and the <CYCLE START> key to
move the machine into the initial position.
If the actual work offset does not include a rotation, then the rotary
axes of the swivel data set are moved to zero. The tool is located
vertically to the machining plane.
This is done, for example, to swivel the coordinate system back to its
original orientation.
Press the "Set zero plane" softkey to set the actual swivel plane to the
new zero plane.
Press the "Delete zero plane" softkey to delete the actual swivel
plane.
No: No retraction before swiveling
Fixed point 1: Retraction in the direction of machine axis Z to the fixed point of
machine axis Z defined by the machine manufacturer Z.
Fixed point 2: Retraction in the direction of machine axis Z and then in X,Y to the
fixed points defined by the machine manufacturer
Retraction, maximum in the tool direction up to the software end position
Retraction, incremental in the tool direction up to a maximum of the software end
position. The retraction path is entered into parameter ZR.
New: New swivel plane
Additive: Additive swivel plane
Axis by axis: Rotate coordinate system axis-by-axis
Direct: Directly position rotary axes
Positions the rotary axes of the active swivel data set
