Defining the AFC basic settings

You enter the settings for the TNC feed rate control in the table
AFC.TAB,

which must be saved in the root directory TNC:\.

The data in this table are default values that were copied during a

teach-in cut into a file belonging to the respective program and serve

as the basis for control. The following data are to be defined in this

table:

Column

Function

NR

Consecutive line number in the table (has no further

functions)

Adaptive
Feed
Control
(AFC)

Name of the control setting. You enter this name in the
AFC

column of the tool table. It specifies the

assignment of control parameters to the tool.

FMIN

Feed rate at which the TNC is to conduct a shutdown

response. Enter the value in percent with respect to

the programmed feed rate. Input range: 50 to 100%

FMAX

Maximum feed rate in the material up to which the TNC

can automatically increase the feed rate. Enter the

value in percent of the programmed feed rate.

FIDL

Feed rate for traverse when the tool is not cutting (feed

rate in the air). Enter the value in percent of the

programmed feed rate.

FENT

Feed rate for traverse when the tool moves into or out

of the material. Enter the value in percent with respect

to the programmed feed rate. Maximum input value:

100%

OVLD

Desired reaction of the TNC to overload:

M

: Execution of a macro defined by the machine tool

builder

S

: Immediate NC stop

F

: NC stop if the tool has been retracted

E

: Just display an error message on the screen

-

: No overload reaction

The TNC conducts a shutdown response if the

maximum spindle power is exceeded for more than

one second and at the same time the feed rate falls

below the minimum you defined. Enter the desired

function via the ASCII keyboard.

POUT

Spindle power at which the TNC is to detect tool exit

from the workpiece. Enter the value in percent of the

learned reference load. Recommended input value:

8 %
