Explanation 1Retraction
- When no retraction distance is specified
If no retraction distance or direction required for retraction are
specified, retraction is not performed when the TOOL WITHDRAW
switch on the operator's panel is turned on. Instead, the block being
executed in automatic operation is interrupted (automatic operation is
held or stopped). In this state, the tool can be withdrawn and returned.
- Retraction from the automatic operation hold or stop state
When the single block switch is turned on during automatic operation,
or the TOOL WITHDRAW switch is turned on after the automatic
operation hold or stop state is set by feed hold: Retraction is performed,
then the automatic operation hold or stop state is set again.
- Stopping retraction
During retraction, feed hold operation is ignored. However, reset
operation is enabled (retraction is stopped at reset). When an alarm is
issued during retraction, the retraction is stopped immediately.
- Repositioning immediately after retraction
After retraction is completed, tool repositioning can be started without
performing the withdraw and return operations.
Explanation 2Withdrawal
- Axis selection
To move the tool along an axis, select the corresponding axis selection
signal. Never specify axis selection signals for two or more axes at a
time.
- Path memorization
When the tool is moved in manual operation along an axis, the control
unit
memorizes up to ten paths of movements. If the tool is stopped after
being moved along a selected axis and is then moved along another
selected axis, the position where this switch takes place is memorized.
After ten paths have been memorized, the control unit does not
memorize any additional switching points.
