Automatically retract tool from the contour at an NC
stop: M148

Standard behavior

At an NC stop the TNC stops all traverse movements. The tool
stops moving at the point of interruption.

Behavior with M148

The M148 function must be enabled by the machine
tool builder. The machine tool builder defines in
a machine parameter the path that the TNC is to
traverse for a

LIFTOFF command.

The TNC retracts the tool by up to 2 mm in the direction of the
tool axis if, in the

LIFTOFF column of the tool table, you set the

parameter

Y for the active tool See "Enter tool data into the table",

page 144.

LIFTOFF takes effect in the following situations:

An NC stop triggered by you

An NC stop triggered by the software, e.g. if an error occurred
in the drive system

When a power interruption occurs

Danger of collision!

Remember that, especially on curved surfaces, the
surface can be damaged during return to the contour.
Retract the tool before returning to the contour!

In the

CfgLiftOff machine parameter, define the

value by which the tool is to be retracted. In the
CfgLiftOff machine parameter you can also switch
the function off.

Effect

M148 remains in effect until deactivated with M149.

M148 becomes effective at the start of block, M149 at the end of
block.
