    angle head on horizontal milling center

    I have a horizontal milling machine. I have a new swivel head that mounts to the spindle. Machine control Sinumerik 828d
    How to program as a rotatable head so that the Z axis is interchanged with the Y axis.

    I had the same question few weeks ago and this that video helped me to understand how it works and actually I´m already tried it in one SW with Siemens 840d SL and works perfectly, in my case I just select G19 to make a hole and tap in X axis and when I loaded the tool I selected the type of tool like an angle head.

    Tell me know if this help you or need further information.

    Regards!
