3.4 AUTOMATIC DIVISION OF TAUGHT-IN BLOCKS IN
GUIDANCE CUTTING
In guidance cutting, a cutting motion whose end point is the tool
position when a teach-in soft-key ([CUT]/[RAPID]) is pressed is
stored as a motion block.
Each motion can also be stored as a block according to the following
conditions by parameter setting:
- Switching between approach cutting and along cutting
- Direction of cutting in the handle or jog feed mode
- Axis along which the tool moves in the handle or jog feed mode
When soft-key [CUT] is pressed, all cutting motions stored as
separate blocks are taught as cutting feed (G01, G02, or G03).
When soft-key [RAPID] is pressed, they are taught as rapid traverse
(G00).
Up to 30 blocks of motions can be stored until the teach-in soft-key is
pressed.
When this function is enabled, if the tool is moved simultaneously
along two axes in the handle or jog feed mode, large blocks are stored
at a time. Always move the tool along only one axis.
NOTE
1 To use automatic division of taught-in cutting
motions, set bit 1 (TCA) of parameter No. 9762 to
1.
2 For auxiliary function teach-in, up to eight blocks of
motions can continuously be stored, regardless of
whether the above parameter is set.
3 The same block may be taught as multiple
continuous blocks by handwheel operation. In this
case, delete unnecessary blocks.
