Power Mate DI that handles high-speed signals.
Characters placed before a word that specify the
meaning of the word
(Example) GO1 FlOOO; G and F are addresses. G
specifies a G-code and F specifies a speed.
To operate the machine tool according to the
program stored in CNC.
Amount by which the tool does not travel when the
motor changes direction, caused at the junction
between the motor and tool.
To compensate backlash by setting a value in the
controller without mechanically eliminating backlash.
There are two types of batteries: lithium and
*
manganese. The lithium battery is used to store
Power Mate data and the manganese battery used
for the absolute pulse coder.
Notation in which a decimal number of each digit is
represented as a four-digit binary number.
A collection of words delimited by function characters
indicating EOB in a machine program.
A collection of predefined operation sequences for
such machining as boring, drilling, and tapping.
Constant that matches the CNC command pulse with
the weight of a detector pulse.
Pulse signal that specifies motion along the
controlled axis.
Indicates the reference voltage connected to all the
switches in Dl, such as 24 V common or 0 V
common. For safety, 24 V common should be used.
Display and keyboard. Easy operation due to large
screen and keys. Two or more Power Mate can
share one CRT/MDI.
Macro that can use one instruction to call a group of
instructions like a subprogram. Variables caq be set
in custom macros.
To-start operation in the automatic or MDI mode.
Power Mate DI that can eliminate chattering at 5 ms
.
or less.
