WinPC-NC Light Parameter settings
Advance speed
The advance speed or feed rate defines the working speed for each
tool when the tool is pushed into the workpiece.
This value is irrelevant for straightforward drilling applications.
However, if WinPC-NC is used for milling, engraving or grinding,
then the maximum feed rate depends on the tool used and the
material.
Withdrawal speed
The withdrawal speed is used for raising or withdrawing the tool
from the workpiece.
Brake angle
The brake angle specifies the maximum angle differential for
subsequent movement stages in which movement takes place at full
speed. The value is entered in degrees.
Deterministic
speed
optimization
Between the start and finish of movements, the acceleration and
braking function is only activated if the direction of the next vector
deviates from the previous one by more than the defined brake angle.
An example of this deterministic speed optimization function can be
seen in movement around a circle, which consists of lots of little
individual vectors. The directions of two successive movements are
only slightly different. As a result, the circular path can be moved in
one operation at maximum speed.
Brake difference
Braking and acceleration always take place before and after tool
movements. This parameter is irrelevant in straightforward drilling
applications and is ignored.
