Introduction
The C-axis, in conjunction with driven tools in the turret, enables turning and also
complicated milling operations to be carried out on the INDEX CNC machines, with
a single clamping. By this device the manufacturing costs can be considerably reduced,
due to shorter tool running times. Where the demands on accuracy, concentricity and
circularity of turned and milled components are exacting, the finish machining enables
tedious aligning operations on a milling machine to be saved.
With the C-axis, the workspindle can be held in a controlled position. The workspindle
is thus an additional, programmable axis of rotation. It is given its position via the
address letter "C" from the part program.
The accuracies achieved on the workpiece will depend upon the current working
radius. With increasing distance from the centre point, the accuracy decreases.
C-axis special features are being described in this chapter.

General Description
In milling or positioning, the C-axis is programmed in degrees of arc. Since a maximum

of 27,7 workspindle revolutions can be programmed in one traverse block, a maximum
programmable number of degrees of 9999.9999° is possible for the C-axis.
Plus or minus dimensions can be stated. All three axes X, Z and C can be simultaneously
traversed and interpolated.
The dimensions of the X-axis must always be stated as a diameter in absolute

programming.
The speed of the C-axis is stated in degrees per minute (accuracy of input 1°/minute).
If it is desired to obtain the feed in millimetres per minute, the angular speed must
be converted into the corresponding circumferential speed, according to the machining
diameter.
For the unit diameter D0 = 360/π = 114.592 mm, the angular speed (degrees/minute)
is equal to the linear speed (millimetre/minute).
If machining is carried out only with the C-axis at a constant diameter, then we obtain
from the following formula:
Linear speed: VB = D • VW
VB = linear speed at machining
D0 diameter in mm/min
VW = programmed angular speed
D0 in degrees/min
Angular speed: VW = • VB
D D = machining diameter
D0 = unit diameter = 114.592 mm
Where there is a joint movement of the C- and Z-axes (Fig. 2: Helix on a cylinder) the
result is a uniform linear speed as a function of the programmed speed, the machining
diameter and the pitch of the helix (Fig. 2).

Milling of Cylinder Tracks L136
On the periphery of the workpiece any desired cylinder tracks, consisting of straight
lines and circular arcs, can be produced. The cutter radius compensation can be used.
The positions of the C-axis are stated in degrees. The conversion to the circumferential
dimensions of the working diameter is carried out internally to the control.
For this purpose the conversion factor
P= machining diameter (R11 = ... )

unit diameter
is programmed under G92 P... Accuracy of input 0.00001 (L136).
The unit diameter is calculated as follows:
360
unit diameter = = 114,592 mm
π
Programming example:
N105 R10 = x R11 = xxx.xxxxx L136
Conversion factor
0 or 4 = C-axis Main spindle

1 = C-axis Synchronized spindle
3 = C-axis Counter spindle G200/G300
The conversion factor P is self-holding until renewed programming takes place, e.g.
R10 = x R11 = xxx.xxxx L136.
So long as the factor is not 1, the C-axis can interpolate only with the Z-axis. Before
a linear interpolation with the X-axis can be carried out, the cylinder track milling must
be cancelled with L135 or L142.
A value in the X-axis in its own block without Z-information or C-inform-ation is

admissible.
The feed speed is stated in mm/min. It is maintained according to the machining

diameter on the contour.
For circular contours (G2 or G3), the radius is programmed with B.... (mm).

Calculation of the individual contour elements

Since the drawing dimensions are stated partly in degrees of angle and partly in
millimetres, all dimensions of the C-axis must first be calculated as circumferential
dimensions in millimetres, according to the machining diameter established. All the
C-axis dimensions are then converted into degrees of arc.
Calculation of the conversion factor P:(R11 = ... )
R11 = ... (P) = machining diameter the more accurate the

unit diameter calculation, the more
precise will be the
100 produced radii
R11 = ... (P) = = 0,87266
114,592
– 16 –
Mostly the drawing dimensions are stated in mixed dimensional

systems. Therefore they mut be converted.
Calculation of circumferential dimensions in millimetres:
Conversion of degrees 65 degrees x 0,87266 = 56,723 mm

into "mm" 230 degrees x 0,87266 = 200,712 mm
360 degrees x 0,87266 = 314,158 mm

Cutter Radius Correction
Selection and cancellation of cutter radius correction
G40 No cutter radius correction; is active when the NC is

switched on. Cancel by G41 or G42.
G41 Cutter is to left of contour in direction of traverse.
G42 Cutter is to right of contour in direction of traverse.
Fig. 9:Tool to right of contour- G42
Fig. 10: Tool to left of contour - G41

Y01216_17
When the cutter radius correction is selected, G00 or G01 must be active. In addition
the two axes which lie in the cutter radius correction plane must be programmed in
the selection block.
With axial machining (L137 Transmit function), the cutter radius correction is taken
into account in the U- and V-plane (Option).
With radial machining (L136 Cylinder track milling), the cutter radius correction is
taken into account in the Z- and C-plane.
Where the cutter radius correction is active, a maximum of one intermediate block
without a movement distance in the cutter radius correction plane is admissible.

At the front end of the workpiece, any desired shape compounded of straights and
circular arcs can be produced.
For linear movements, interpolation in all three axes is possible. On circular arc
movements in the U and V axes, an accompanying feed in the Z-axis as a linear axis
is permissible.
The zero point of the U and V axes should be at the centre of the workpiece.
Before selection of the transmit functions, the following must be

observed:
- The C-axis must be set to 'C0', otherwise the complete contour
will be shifted by the difference in degrees.
- The tool must be in a positive X-position (X>0), otherwise the
programmed contour will be mirrored.
The linear axis is engaged with subprogram L137.

With subprogram L135 (L142), the linear axis is disengaged again.
Progr.ex.:
N500 R10=0 L137 (Selection Transmit funct. C-axis Main drive)
…
N600 R10=0 L135 (Cancellation Transmit funct. Selection Rotary axis)
U-V-axis values are input as positive or negative values in millimeters as radius

specifications. The minimum programmable increment is 0,001mm. Advance speed
is input in units of mm/min.
The transmit function must be reset via L135 prior to any turret indexing or return
cycle.

Short Description of Contour

For front-end milling, a short description of the contour can be inserted. This appreciably
simplifies the manual programming of inclined surfaces and radii, a prerequisite being
the "C-axis as linear axis" option. In the programming of inclined surfaces, the angle
A must be given as measured in the clockwise direction from the positive U-axis.
