X Tool Change Position |
On SR, SRT, and SW machines only, sets the machine-relative X coordinate where the table moves to perform an automatic tool change. See X-Axis and Y-Axis Tool Change Position. |

|
Y Tool Change Position |
On SR, SRT, and SW machines only, sets the machine-relative X coordinate where the table moves to perform an automatic tool change. See X-Axis and Y-Axis Tool Change Position. |

Control Power Off Time
Turns the control off after the specified period of activity.
The default setting for Control Power Off Time is 120 minutes.
UPS Software Shutdown Off Time
Sets the number of minutes the system will wait before it shuts down after a power loss condition has been detected. The default is 1 minute.
Retract Z-Axis on Power Loss
Enables Z-axis retract on power loss. No disables the retract feature. Yes enables the Z-axis retract feature. Default is No.
This parameter must be used in conjunction with M90/M91. The Z-axis retracts upon power loss when this parameter is set to Yes and an M90 code (Z-axis Retract Enable) is inserted at the beginning of the program. The retract can be turned on and off within the program using M90 (on) and M91 (off).
|
|
The Z-axis will not retract if the M90 code is not used in the program in conjunction with this parameter. |
Auto Balance Enable
Auto Balance Enable set to Yes will have the logic controller send an auto balance request to adjust the balance between the motion card and the servo drives at the start of calibration and run program. No auto balance request will be sent if the parameter is No.
The default setting for Auto Balance Enable is Yes.
|
|
Only a trained technician performing diagnostic tuning of the servo amplifiers should set the Auto Balance Enable value to No. |
Increment Parts Count at End of Program
Determines if the part count increments automatically at the end of a program. The setting applies to normal program runs, partial runs, conversational feed and speed capture, and recovery restart. The setting does not apply when using Check For Errors, Estimated Runtime, or Dry Run. This setting is enabled by default.
Disable Auto On Chip Removal
The Disable Auto On Chip Removal parameter disables the chip conveyor from turning on automatically in Auto Mode. The range is Yes or No; No is the default. Setting the parameter to Yes will disable the Auto On Chip Removal feature.
Chip Convey or Parameters
|
|
Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable, Chip Removal On Delay Time and Chip Removal Off Delay Time parameters are functional only when the Chip Removal Forward On/Off F2 softkey (Automatic Run Mode) is set to On. |
Chip Removal On/Off Delay
The Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable parameter is used with the Chip removal On Delay Time and Chip Removal Off Delay Time parameters to periodically allow the chip conveyor or auger to remove chips from inside the machine during the part program.
When Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable is set to No, this parameter is disabled. Values entered into the Chip Removal On Delay Time and Chip Removal Off Delay Time will not be retained.
When Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable is set to Yes, use the Chip Removal On Delay Time and Chip Removal Off Delay Time parameters to regulate operation of the chip conveyor or auger.
The default setting for Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable is No (disable).
Chip Removal On Delay Time
When the Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable parameter is set to Yes, the Chip Removal On Delay Time parameter defines the time that the chip conveyor or auger cycles On to remove chips from inside the enclosure.
The default setting for Chip Removal On Delay Time is 0 seconds.
Chip Removal Off Delay Time
When the Chip Removal On/Off Delay Enable parameter is set to Yes, the Chip Removal Off Delay Time parameter sets the time that the chip conveyor or auger cycles Off. When the chip conveyor or auger cycles Off, the screen status display is FWD-Delay, not Stopped.
The default setting for Chip Removal Off Delay Time is 0 seconds.
Enable Dual Zones
This parameter enables zones on a dual-zone machine. 0 sets both zones as a single long bed machine, and 1 sets the zones as separate zones. The default is 1.
Dual Laser Probe Present
The Dual Tool Probe Present parameter sets tool probe in one or both zones of dual-zone machines. 0 specifies there is one tool probe; 1 specifies there is a probe in each zone. The default is 0.
X-Axis and Y-Axis Tool Change Position
The X-Axis Tool Change Position and Y-Axis Tool Change Position parameters determine the machine-relative X and Y axis positions where the table moves to perform an automatic tool change. During an automatic tool change:
-
The Z-axis retracts to maximum position.
-
The X-axis and Y-axis move at rapid feedrate to the X-Axis Tool Change Position and the Y-Axis Tool Change Position, respectively.
-
The automatic tool change is performed.
-
The X-axis and Y-axis move at rapid feedrate to the previous X-axis and Y-axis positions before the move to the X-Axis and Y-Axis Tool Change Positions.
This parameter is only functional on SR, SRT, and SW machines.
