Adaptipath Link Length Tolerance Multiplier
—used by Adaptipath to control whether tool retracts and plunges when linking path. This parameter is a multiplier of tool diameter. Default is 5.0. For example, at 5.0, if the distance from the end of one pass to the start of the next is greater than 5 times the tool diameter the tool will retract and rapid over.
—indicates Pressure OK or Pressure Low. Pressure OK is required to begin an ATC operation.
Allow Bore & Ream Cycle Interrupt
—controls whether the Interrupt console button will interrupt a bore or ream cycle. Default is No. When No, the cycle will complete before retracting tool. When Yes, the cycle will stop and the tool will retract when the Interrupt button is pressed.
—if Yes, UltiPocket will plunge outside the pocket, moving through the open side of the pocket boundary. May be used with open contours only; cannot be applied to frames, circles, or ellipses because they cannot be programmed with open contours.
The Operator Specify Pocket Start parameter must also be set to Yes.
The contour Pocket Type must be set to Inward.
|
|
The plunge point should be placed near the open side of the contour outside the pocket. The tool moves through this opening near the approximate center. The software verifies the tool will fit through the opening and generates an error message if it will not. |

—applies the automatically-calculated border to the top of the stock, in Stock Geometry. The border is automatically applied to the bottom. Field is available when Manual Stock Sizing is set to NO.
Apply Same Z Start
—when creating multiple data blocks of the same type, toggling this selection on results in the user being prompted only once for the Z start (if possible). Uses the same Z start for each block.
—the feed rate to use for the initial touch of the part during a manual mode Part Setup probing cycle. No measurement is taken at this feed rate, it is simply used to locate the part feature to be probed. If running a part probe cycle in auto mode (through a conversational data block or NC Program), this feed rate begins after the Fast Start Feed rate beginning at the probe starting point.
—the radius of the arc, if known.
—the type of Argument, String or List, and variables in a NC Program Call block.
—assumes a feedrate increment of .1 when Yes is selected.
—specifies Yes or No. When Yes is selected, the Minimum Length and Leading Symbol fields appear so that a placeholder can be used to achieve consistent serial number length. Default is Yes.
—indicates At X, At Y, and At Z positions. All three are required for ATC to begin.
ATC Disable
—disables all automatic tool changer functions. See Machine Parameters – General 2 in Getting Started with WinMax Mill for more information.
—indicates Closed or Open position. Closed is required for ATC Status Home.

—adjusts the balance between the motion card and the servo drives at the start of calibration and run program. See Machine Parameters – General 2 in Getting Started with WinMax Mill for more information.
Automatically Load Unmatched Tools As Manual
—automatically loads unmatched tools from newly-loaded conversational part programs:
-
YES—new tools from the newly loaded program (that are not in the Tool & Material Library) are automatically added to Manual.
-
NO—requires new tools to be matched (see “Part Program Tool Review” section for more information about matching tools.)
Automatic Centerline Calculation
—specify Yes or No to enable automatic centerline calculation.
Automatic Safe Repositioning Vector Retract Override
—When set to OFF the tool automatically retracts, reorients, and plunges, using a series of moves computed automatically that do not violate machine limits. Set to ON to override the automatic repositioning and enter a retract distance along the tool vector from the target position. This value is absolute and starts at the Retract Clearance plane when entering Automatic Safety Repositioning.
|
|
The control will retract to either the Retract Clearance distance or to the Vector Retract clearance depending on which value is greater. |
In Conversational programs, available only with Universal program types.
See Automatic Safe Repositioning Command Buffer On (G08.1) in NC Programming for more information about Automatic Safe Repositioning.

—enables WinMax to automatically select new origin-point coordinates in a transform-plane data block for each side of a part in multi-sided programming (based on the geometry selected). Transform can be used to edit origin position if desired. Leaving this toggle off enables the user to specify origin-point coordinates in a transform-plane data block. This setting is used with the 3D DXF/Solid Model Import option.
