3.4 TORQUE LIMIT SKIP (G31 P99)
With the motor torque limited (for example, by a torque limit
command, issued through the PMC window), a move command
following G31 P99 (or G31 P98) can cause the same type of cutting
feed as with G01 (linear interpolation).
With the issue of a signal indicating a torque limit has been reached
(because of pressure being applied or for some other reason), a skip
occurs.
For details of how to use this function, refer to the manuals supplied
by the machine tool builder.
Format
G31 P99 IP _ F_ ;
G31 P98 IP _ F_ ;
G31 : One-shot G code (G code effective only in the block in
which it is issued)
Explanation
- G31 P99
If the motor torque limit is reached, or a SKIP signal is received
during execution of G31 P99, the current move command is aborted,
and the next block is executed.
- G31 P98
If the motor torque limit is reached during execution of G31 P98, the
current move command is aborted, and the next block is executed. The
SKIP signal <X0004#7/Path 2 X0013#7> does not affect G31 P98.
Entering a SKIP signal during the execution of G31 P98 does not
cause a skip.
- Torque limit command
If a torque limit is not specified before the execution of G31 P99/98,
the move command continues; no skip occurs even if a torque limit is
reached.
- Custom macro system variable
When G31 P99/98 is specified, the custom macro variables hold the
coordinates at the end of a skip.
If a SKIP signal causes a skip with G31 P99, the custom macro system
variables hold the coordinates based on the machine coordinate system
when it stops, rather than those when the SKIP signal is entered.
