Entering traverse limits
Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine tool builder configures and enables the
Traverse limits function.
The Traverse limits MOD function in the Machine settings group
enables you to limit the actually usable traverse path within the
maximum range of traverse. Thus, you can define traverse limits on
each axis (e.g., to protect an indexing head from collision).
To define traverse limits, proceed as follows:
Select the Machine settings group in the MOD menu
Select the Traverse limits function
Define a value in the Lower limit or Upper limit column
or
Apply the current position by pressing the
ACTUAL POSITION CAPTURE soft key
Press the APPLY soft key
The control validates the defined values.
Press the OK soft key
The control saves the defined traverse limits.
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.
The only way to deactivate the traverse limits is to
delete all values or to press the EMPTY EVERYTHING
soft key.
