Inclined surface correction
Quickly align the workpiece datum surface and set the zero point
Improve quality and efficiency
To facilitate online learning for every Heidenhain CNC system enthusiast, Heidenhain's free online courses are constantly being updated. This issue provides a video on five-axis tilt surface correction; please bookmark and study it.
On a five-axis machine tool equipped with a Heidenhain system, using a probe to execute a tilt surface correction cycle can quickly calculate the spatial angle of the tilted machining surface and assign it to the current coordinate system. Through the automatic positioning of the machine tool's rotary axes, the tool axis is made perpendicular to the tilted machining surface. This is particularly suitable for:
Alignment of the reference surface and setting of the zero point after the re-clamping of the parts to be reworked
After clamping, the reference surface of the part is aligned and the zero point is set in an inclined state.
Using the tilt surface correction function can minimize the complexity of the tooling fixtures, reduce the auxiliary time spent on manually aligning the tilt surface, and improve processing efficiency while reducing processing costs.
