5.3 Tilted Working Plane (TWP)
The INCON-M86R supports three rotating mechanisms that can control the angle between the tool and the workpiece to perform 5-axis machining. INCON-M86R provides the G158 real-time coordinate conversion function, which makes the program instructions in the program space coordinate system convert to the motion space, that is, the actual movement of the X, Y, Z, B, and C axes to achieve the purpose of five-axis machining.
In addition to the G158 function, the INCON-M86R provides a Tilt Work Plane feature that allows three-axis (X, Y, Z) machining programs to be used in any translation and rotation coordinate system in space. With three-axis machining, the converter can set the translational coordinate system in any space and convert from INCON-M86R to the motion space to complete the three-axis machining of any coordinate system. Of course, it also includes the machining cycle instructions such as drilling, tapping teeth and so on.
