Angled-wheel Parameters
This chapter covers parameters only available when cylindrical grinder
control types are being configured. Use these parameters to configure your
angled wheel grinder or your G89/G89.1 grinding cycle.
Most of the parameters in this group apply only to angled-wheel grinders.
The exception is the Microfeed Increment parameter which configures
G89 and G89.1 cycles. The microfeed increment applies to both
angled-wheel grinders as well as nonangled wheel cylindrical grinders.
You must configure your angled-wheel grinder as a cylindrical grinder
control type. If the control type (selected with the F3 option) is set to
surface grinder, the angled-wheel parameter group is not available.
You must also select a default angled-wheel grinder mode. This is
configured with the PTO G code for modal group 15 parameter found in
the “Power-up G Codes” group.
Access the angled wheel parameters by selecting the “Angled-Wheel
Parameters” group displayed on page 3 of the main AMP menu screen.
When you select the “Angled-Wheel Parameters” group, the workstation
displays the following screen.

Important: Configuring an angled-wheel grinder can limit the available
number of closed loop axes on 9/290 systems. A maximum of 8 real
closed--loop axes and one virtual angled wheel axes are available on 9/290
angled-wheel grinder systems. The number of closed loop axes available
on 9/260 and 9/230 grinders is not affected by an angled-wheel grinder.
