Spindle load monitoring

This feature must be enabled and adapted by the

machine tool builder. Refer to your machine manual.

With the spindle load monitoring function you can easily have the

spindle load monitored in order, for example, to detect overloading

the spindle power.
The function is independent of AFC, i.e. it is not cut-based and

does not depend on teach-in steps. Through the functions that can

be defined by the machine tool builder, you only need to define the

percentage value for spindle limit power with respect to the rated

power.
When the defined limit spindle power range is not maintained, the

TNC conducts an NC stop.
