21.7 Swiveling
The type of retraction is modified in the Manufacturer cycle CUST_800.SPF (Page 589).
Note
Retraction in the tool direction is useful for swivel data sets in which the tool is re-oriented
(swivel head or mixed kinematics). This applies particularly for turning machines with a B axis.
During retraction in "maximum tool direction", traversing is performed until one of the relevant
linear axes reaches the software limit switch.
Backing up swivel data set
With the "Save data set" softkey in the dialog for the swivel data set, all of the entered
parameters ($TC_CARR1[n] to $TC_CARR65[n]) can be saved in a file in the part program
memory. The file name corresponds to the name of the swivel data set. Observe the permitted
characters when entering the swivel data set name.
Note
All of the vectors and parameters immediately take effect after being entered and do not have
to be additionally activated or saved.
