Monitoring axis and spindle data

4.9.1

Specify working area limitations

Using the "Working area limitation" function you can limit the range within which a tool should
traverse in all channel axes. This function allows you to set up protection zones in the working
area that are inhibited for tool motion.
In this way, you are able to restrict the traversing range of the axes in addition to the limit
switches.
Requirements
You can only make changes in "AUTO" mode when in the RESET condition. These changes
are then immediate.
You can make changes in "JOG" mode at any time. These changes, however, only become
active at the start of a new motion.
Procedure
Note
You will find all of the setting data in the "Start-up" operating area under "Machine data" via
the menu forward key.
4.9.2
