Configuring cycles
22.6 Swiveling
Options:
● Redetermination of swivel data sets
– Commissioning the machine
– Use of swivel-mounted workholders as TCARR
● Checking swivel data sets
– Service following collisions
– Checking the kinematics during the machining process
Kinematics with manual axes (manually adjustable rotary tables, swivel-mounted
workholders) can be measured in the same way as kinematics with NC-controlled rotary
axes.
When CYCLE996 is started, a swivel data set with basic data (for kinematics type) must be
parameterized. The measurement itself must be carried out without an active kinematic
transformation.
If, in the setting data SD55740 $MNS_MEA_FUNCTION_MASK bit 7 is set, then depending
on the setting, the kinematics can be measured based on the calculated or based on the
rotary axis vectors saved in the swivel data set.
Preconditions
The following requirements must be met in order to use CYCLE996 (Measure kinematics):
● SIEMENS measuring cycles package is installed
● Workpiece probe is calibrated
● Calibration ball is mounted
● oriented tool carrier is set up (MD18088 MM_NUM_TOOL_CARRIER > 0)
● The basic geometry of the machine (X, Y, Z) is rectangular and referenced
The right angle refers to the workpiece spindle and should be preferably checked using a
test mandrel.
● Defined position of the rotary axes involved in the transformation
● Defined traverse directions in compliance with the standard of all axes involved in the
transformation according to ISO 841-2001 and/or DIN 66217 (righthand rule)
● defined size of the protocol file (MD11420 $MN_LEN_PROTOCOL_FILE ≥ 100)
The precise procedure when measuring and programming, including examples, is described
in the following manual:
