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.

In the global program settings form, move the cursor to LOCK
ON/OFF,

and activate the function with the SPACE key

With the downward arrow key, set the cursor to the axis that you

want to lock

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.

Superimposed rotation

With the superimposed rotation function you can define any rotation

of the coordinate system in the presently active working plane.

Feed rate override

With the feed rate override function, you can decrease or increase the

programmed feed rate by a percentage. The input range is 1% to

1000%.

When you activate this function, ensure that the positions

of the locked axes cannot cause any collisions.

The superimposed rotation defined in the form works in

addition to the values already defined in the program

through Cycle 10 (rotation).
Remember that you 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

658).

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.
