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
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.
