This boundary number should be the same as the tool geometry
number (T-word) that will be active when the tool and/or fixture is
being controlled. Refer to your system installer’s documentation for
details on which tool or fixture corresponds to which interference
boundary number (1-32).
6. Use the up or down cursor keys to move the block cursor to the
interference area parameter to be changed. The selected field appears
in reverse video.
7. If necessary, change the measurement units by using MDI. Units
currently used in the table are determined by the current mode of the
process (G70 inch or G71 metric).
8. Enter the boundary area values as determined on page 30-22. Enter
values in one of two ways:
Press This
Softkey:
Then: Press: The New Value:
{REPLCE
VALUE} Type in the new value. [TRANSMIT] replaces the old value
for that feedrate.
{ADD TO
VALUE} Type in the new value. [TRANSMIT] is added to the old
value for that area.
9. Repeat this procedure for each process until all boundaries are
entered.
You can enter data in the interference tables by programming the correct
G10 command. This section describes the use of the G10 commands.
Important: The active boundary and the value in the interference
boundary table change when a G10 code modifies the table value. Both
changes activate immediately.
When the process is in incremental mode (G91), any values entered in the
table with the G10 command are added to the currently existing offset
values. When the process is in absolute mode (G90), any values entered in
an offset table with the G10 command replace the currently existing offset
values.
Values can be entered into the table as inch or metric values. Select the
values you intend to enter by first programming the G-code that establishes
the mode you wish to use (G70 or G71).
