Possible feed rate input

Actual position capture

The TNC enables you to transfer the current tool position into the
program, for example during

„

Positioning-block programming

„

Cycle programming, and

„

Tool definition with TOOL DEF.

To transfer the correct position values, proceed as follows:

Place the input box at the position in the block where you want to
insert a position value.

Select the actual-position-capture function: In the soft-

key row the TNC displays the axes whose positions
can be transferred.

Select the axis: The TNC writes the current position of

the selected axis into the active input box.

Functions for setting the feed rate

Soft key

Rapid traverse

Traverse feed rate automatically calculated in
TOOL CALL

Move at the programmed feed rate (unit of
measure is mm/min)

Functions for conversational guidance

Key

Ignore the dialog question

End the dialog immediately

Abort the dialog and erase the block

In the working plane the TNC always captures the
coordinates of the tool center, even though tool radius
compensation is active.

In the tool axis the TNC always captures the coordinates
of the tool tip and thus always takes the active tool length
compensation into account.

The actual-position-capture function is not allowed if the
tilted working plane function is active.
