Superimposed rotation
With the superimposed rotation function you can define any rotation
of the coordinate system in the presently active working plane.
Axis locking
With this function you can lock all active axes. Then when you run a
program, the TNC does not move any of the axes you locked.
8
In the global program settings form, move the cursor to LOCK ON/
OFF,
and activate the function with the SPACE key.
8
With the downward arrow key, set the cursor to the axis that you
want to lock.
8
Press the SPACE key to lock the axis. Pressing the SPACE key again
cancels the function.
If you work with a mouse, you can select the desired axis directly by
clicking it.
Feed rate factor
With the feed rate factor function, you can decrease or increase the
programmed feed rate by a percentage. The input range is 1% to
1000%.
The superimposed rotation defined in the form works in
addition to the values already defined in the program
through Cycle 10 (rotation).
Remember that may have to return to the contour after
activation of this function. The TNC then automatically
calls the return-to-contour menu after the form is closed
(see “Returning to the contour” on page 647).
When you activate this function, ensure that the positions
of the locked axes cannot cause any collisions.
Remember that the TNC always applies the feed rate
factor to the current feed rate, which you may already
have changed through the feed rate override.
