Fanuc G68 Tilted Work Plane Operation

The document discusses the tilted working plane (TWP) function for the Makino D500 machine. TWP allows creating programs on a transformed coordinate system by shifting and rotating the work coordinates. TWP requires defining Euler angles to specify the rotation. An example defines a TWP at the center and top of a hole, orienting the Z-axis with the hole centerline. It provides sample drilling and tapping programs that first define the TWP, then move and activate tools before using canned cycles to drill or tap within the transformed coordinate system.

Tilted Working Plane Function

TWP
Example & Usage for Makino D500

Tilted Work Plane Operation outline


By shifting and rotating work coordinate, you can create programs easily
on transformed coordinate system.
This function requires input angle using EULERs ANGLE definition.
Proper rotation : - View point looking at positive axis.
- CCW rotation is positive angle.
- sequence of rotation: 1st is Z, 2nd is X, 3rd is Z axis.

Work piece overview


Makino recommends using TWP in conjunction with TCP for
hole feature machining when canned cycle output is preferred.
For rigid tapping, G84 canned cycle must be utilized, so must use TWP

Best/easiest approach is to define the TWP coordinate system


at the center & top of the hole to be machined
Orient Z axis positive vector with hole centerline

Transformed

Step #3 Rotate around Z for 1st


orientation per Eulers angle
definition see red value above
Looking at Z+ vector, CCW
rotation is positive direction,
therefore value is positive

Looking at X+ vector, CCW
rotation is positive direction, but
rotation required is negative to

Please note - Typically there are


multiple combinations for angular
rotations, which all are valid. We
selected these for the example.

Drilling program example D500


Move to G54 X0 Y0
Must force proper A-axis rotation prior to TWP
Defines TWP location and plane orientation
Performs physical rotary axis rotation to TWP
**IMPORTANT** Moves tool over top of hole
Activate tool length compensation with G43
Canned cycle to drill hole going 1 deep from top surface
Must be in this order cancel cycle, cancel tool length, cancel TWP
Send Z axis to machine home location to clear for next rotary motion

Next hole sequence for TWP

Rigid tapping program example D500


ALL FORMAT AND TWP DEFINITIONS ARE THE
SAME AS DRILLING FOR RIGID TAPPING,
EXCEPT AS NOTED BELOW
