Programming technology functions (cycles) 10.6 Further cycles and functions 10.6 Further cycles and functions 10.6.1 Swiveling plane / aligning tool (CYCLE800) The CYCLE800 swivel cycle is used to swivel to any surface in order to either machine or measure it. In this cycle, the active workpiece zeros and the work offsets are converted to the inclined surface taking into account the kinematic chain of the machine by calling the appropriate NC functions and rotary axes (optionally) are positioned.

Page 606 Programming technology functions (cycles) 10.6 Further cycles and functions For machines where swivel is set-up, each main program with a swivel should start in the initial position of the machine. The definition of the blank (WORKPIECE) always refers to the currently effective work offset. For programs that use "swivel", a swivel to zero must be made before the blank is defined.

Page 607 Programming technology functions (cycles) 10.6 Further cycles and functions Aligning tools The purpose of the "Align turning tool" function is to support turning machines with a swivel- mounted B axis. The position and orientation of the turning tool can be changed by rotating swivel axis B (around Y) and the tool spindle.

Tool To avoid collisions, use 5-axis transformation (software option) to define the position of the tool tip during swiveling.

Page 888 Working with a B axis (only 840D sl) 17.8 Measuring a tool with the B axis If you do not wish to keep the tool at the workpiece edge, then press the "Save position" softkey. The tool position is saved and the tool can be retracted from the work‐ piece.

Page 889: Working With Two Tool Carriers
Working with two tool carriers With SINUMERIK Operate, you can work at a lathe with two tool holders, both of which are mounted on an X axis. The tool holders may be revolvers, multifix, or a combination of both. The main machining is performed in the negative X axis direction. As both tool holders are mounted on the same axis it is only possible to machine with one tool.

Page 890: Programming With Two Tool Holders
Working with two tool carriers 18.1 Programming with two tool holders 18.1 Programming with two tool holders You always program in the basic coordinate system (workpiece coordinate system of the first tool holder). You do not have to take into account in which tool holder the tool is inserted. Tool on the second tool holder If a tool on the second tool holder is selected, the X and Y axes are mirrored and the main spindle and counterspindle are offset (rotated) through 180°.
