2023.1 HxGN NC Server with NC Gage

How To Set Coordinate Rotation

You can use NC Gage to set the values used for a G11 rotation. This function uses the measured values specified in the command and then sends them to variables on the control. NC Gage provides a macro for simple activation of the G11 on the control.

Note

This functionality is only for machines that have the G68, G68.2 or G11 options.

Instructions

1

Additional Notes

1

It is not possible to measure with G68/G68.2/G11 active.

Therefore, NC Gage will always disable it when running its macros.

2

To activate the G68/G68.2/G11 coordinate rotation on the control, use the macro supplied with NC Gage.

  • The macro number is the NC Gage teach-in macro number +2
