CNC Z32 - Programming guide (Milling machines manufacturer) It is possible to combine the functions G116 and G117 in order to machine on planes with any inclination with a slanted head. For this purpose it is very useful to program G116 KA2 which determines the rotation to be assigned to the machining, starting from the angles of rotating head when G117 is active. Warning : The function G116 KA2 is only available if the G117 is defined as generalized in machine setup. Please consult the machine tool builder for further information. The example below supposes to have a bi-rotating head with axis B (following) and C (leading).
