Entering traverse limits
The Traverse limits function must be enabled and
adapted by the machine tool builder.
Refer to your machine manual.
The MOD function Traverse limits enables you to limit the actually
usable tool path within the maximum traverse range. This enables
you to define protection zones on each axis to protect a component
from collision for example.
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 TNC checks the values entered
for validity.
Press the soft key OK
The protection zone becomes active automatically as
soon as you set a valid limit in an axis. Settings are
kept even after restarting the control.
You can only deactivate the protection zone
by deleting all values or pressing the EMPTY
EVERYTHING soft key.
