Notes
This parameter applies to the adaptive depth probe and selects what axis is
programmed in a G26 block.
Important: The direction the adaptive depth probe feedback counts must
be the same direction that the adaptive depth controlling axis encoder is
counting when the axis is moving in the same direction. See page 32-8
for details.
Function
This parameter is used with the adaptive depth feature. Refer to your
9/Series Mill Operation and Programming Manual for details on this
feature. This parameter is only available on mill control types.
After homing the probe (either automatically after power turn on or
through PAL) the control needs to know which direction from that zero
point is into the part. Since the probe can be depressed a significant
amount when at zero, the control has no way of knowing which direction
of probe travel is into the part.
Use this parameter to determine the direction from the established home
position of the probe that indicates the adaptive depth controlling axis is
moving into the part. This is the direction programmed in the G26 block
that would move the tool further into the part. If moving the controlling
axis from Z10 to Z5 would move the tool into the part enter a value of
minus for this parameter. If moving the controlling axis from Z5 to Z10
would move the tool into the part enter a value of plus for this parameter.
