System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Spindle Encoder PPU1 Pulses per rev of spindle, used for hard tapping option and
displaying the RPM in gear 1
Spindle encoder PPU2 Pulses per rev of spindle, used for hard tapping option and
displaying the RPM in gear 2
Handwheel Encoder PPU Pulses per rev of the handwheel, should be 400 for current
systems
Spindle Range 1 Max spindle speed for gear 1
Spindle Range 2 Max spindle speed for gear 2

.
Spindle Range 8 Max spindle speed for gear 8
Spindle Range Which range the spindle is in: 1 to 8. Scaled assumes the
range based on the programmed spindle speed and puts out
the appropriate voltage.
Maximum Spindle Speed This will clamp the overall spindle speed. It is used to limit
the RPM's in high gear while still getting a large range of
speeds in lower gears.
Spindle Ramp Time 1 (sec) The tapping deceleration point is adjusted based on spindle
RPM, pitch, and spindle ramp time so as not to overshoot
the programmed depth. It relates to the time in seconds to
decelerate the spindle to 0 RPM’s from full RPM’s in gear
1.
Spindle Ramp Time 2 (sec) The tapping deceleration point is adjusted based on spindle
RPM, pitch, and spindle ramp time so as not to overshoot
the programmed depth. It relates to the time in seconds to
decelerate the spindle to 0 RPM’s from full RPM’s in gear
2.
2 Gear Yaskawa M5 Yes for newer M5 spindle drives with 2 gear spindle
Spindle Motor motors. The spindle does not need to stop to shift.
Electronic Spindle Gear Yes enables the shifting of electronic geared spindle drives.
Spindle Gear Box Yes for RW30 with a mechanical spindle gear box.
