Plane Axial

We Have a DMF180 5Axis machine B Axis in the head and A Axis as a Head/Tailstock assembly along X axis .Control is a Heidenhain iTNC530.With the A configuration "Plane Spatial" would not work but "Plane Axial " would (PLANE AXIAL A0.000 B0.000 TURN FMAX SEQ+ TABLE ROT) . I have built up Vericut machine which works Ok but control does not understand "Plane Axial" Command . Has anyone on this forum come across this situation and would you have a solution for it ,               Thanks in advance

Re: Plane Axial

I haven't come across this yet, but perhaps someone else reading this may have?  I take it that you meant that PLANE SPATIAL would work but that AXIAL woud not, as it was not a recognized word. 

I was looking in:

User's Manual Heidenhain Conversationl Programming iTNC 530

NC Software
340 490-xx
340 491-xx
340 492-xx
340 493-xx
340 494-xx

English (en)
8/2005

...and didn't come across a PLANE AXIAL command.  Do you have any example and supporting documentation to configure this from?  I did find this:

http://content.heidenhain.de/presentati ... etail.html

Which seems to indicate that PLANE AXIAL is just a simpler version of PLANE SPATIAL.  I would:

Add word "AXIAL" to word format

Add a conditional to the A and B words to get the same behavior as used in SPA and SPB from PLANE SPATIAL, adjusting the text X and Y overrides based on your machine configuration:

A *
  (AXIAL *) and (RELATIVE *)
    RotationPlaneincAngle1
      Text = X
  (AXIAL *)
    RotationPlaneAngle1
      Text = X

Add a conditional to the word PLANE like so:

PLANE *
  (AXIAL *)
    WorkingPlane2Abc
      Value = 0
      Text = 120 121 122
    Variable: CGT_ADJ_PLANE_FLAG
      Value = 1

That being finished you should get what you are looking for.  If you run into trouble and you need immediate assistance please give Tech Support a call or email.
