Spindle 3 Parameters
Chapter 14
14-15
Function
This parameter determines the spindle speed in RPM that the control uses
when positioning the spindle during a spindle orient (M19).
Refer to your programming and operation manuals for more information
on spindle orient.
Parameter
Number
[870]
Range
0.0 to 99999.9 rpm
Notes
The orient speed is usually a very low value to assure that the spindle
moves accurately to the orient position.
Executing an M19 may force a gear change to a different gear range to
accommodate the speed entered here.
This parameter must be set for each spindle axis.
This feature is not available on the 9/230, 9/260 or 9/440 controls.
Function
This parameter specifies the direction the spindle rotates during a spindle
orient (M19).
When an M19 is executed in the part program or through MDI, the spindle
rotates in the direction entered here to the position defined by the S word
in the M19 block (if there is no S word in the block, the spindle rotates to
the position defined by the Default Orient Angle parameter).
The direction entered here overrides the setting of the PAL flag “Spindle
Direction” during execution of an M19. This flag usually checks the
spindle direction switch on the MTB panel to determine spindle direction.
Refer to your programming and operation manuals for more information
on spindle orient.
