5.3.1 TWP Coordinates Setting


The tilt plane coordinates are defined in the same way as G54~G59 and G54.1 P_, and the defined values ​​of the tilt plane coordinate system can be put into 100 groups of coordinate systems. The coordinate system is specified in the program by the G158 L_ command in the program.


The CNC controller displays the current state of the CNC controller in the state window. Among them, the three states G169, G168, and G158 are mutually exclusive. In the program, the G169, G168, and G158 commands are used to control the program coordinates and the motion space. As shown in the figure below, in G158 mode, the G158 item in the controller state Window will flash and the L value of the current group will be displayed at the same time.


M86R State Window (G158 Mode)


The 100 tilted plane coordinate system can be set as follows:

1.

Open the "G158 Coordinate offset Dialog Box" setting directly from "Parameter → G158 Coordinate Offset".

2.

Set the coordinate system by manual dialog box and manual operation.

3.

Directly command G158 in the program or in the MDI dialog box.
