Choices for HWM and HD3 Program Types are:

Standard = 3-axis

Rotary A or Rotary B = 4-axis

Rotary A, Tilt B or Tilt A, Rotary C = 5-axis

Height

—the height of gauge or probe relative to the Z Reference.

Helix Radius

—the Helical Plunge radius as a percentage of the tool diameter. The range is from 0% to 100%. Choosing 0% results in a Straight Plunge. If a value of 50% or less is chosen, it will prevent a post (a thin cylinder of material formed after helical plunging) from being formed by the Helical Plunge. The default setting is 25%.

Hole Diameter

—determines the default diameter for a hole in a DXF drawing.

Hole Ordering Strategy

—defines the order in which holes are drilled in a program:

  • Shortest Distance—once a group of holes is selected, drills each hole from the shortest to the longest distance away from the specified start hole. This is the default setting.

  • Grid Sort—once a group of holes is selected, drills holes in order from left to right, or X- to X+ and Y- to Y+.

  • Manual Selection—drills holes in the order specified in the Locations sub data block.

This setting is used with the 3D DXF/Solid Model Import option.

Hydraulic Status

—indicates No Alarm or Alarm. An alarm will not allow programs to run or machine operation.
