Entering traverse limits

Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine tool builder configures and enables the
Traverse limits function.
The Traverse limits MOD function enables you to limit the actually
usable traverse path within the maximum range of traverse. This
enables you to define protection zones on each axis in order,
for example, to protect an indexing head from collision.
To enter traverse limits:
In the MOD menu select the Machine settings group
Select the Traverse limits menu
Enter the values of the desired axes as a reference value or load
the momentary position with the actual position capture soft
key
Press the APPLY soft key
The control checks the entered values for validity.
Press the soft key OK
Operating notes:
The protection zone becomes active automatically as
soon as you have set a valid traverse limit in an axis.
The settings are kept even after the control has been
restarted.
You can only deactivate the protection
zone by deleting all values or pressing the
EMPTY EVERYTHING soft key.
