WinPC-NC Light Parameter settings
Tool change
The parameter defines how WinPC-NC handles the tool change
commands during a working process.
There are 4 possibilities for the tool change :
NO No tool change is performed, the entire working
process takes place with the current tool
YES Performs the tool change and remains stopped in the
current position for every tool change
YES at Performs the tool change and moves to the defined
park position park position for every tool change
NO but use No tool change is performed, although the values
new values for plunge depth, plunge speed and feed speed of
the new tool are adopted.
Zero point in file
The workpiece zero point is the point in the NC file which has its
position defined in the coordinate parameters.However, it can be
located at various points inside or outside the workpiece and these
points are defined here.
Three positions are possible :
Bottom left The zero point is at the smallest X and Y-axis
coordinates in the file, normally at the bottom left
edge. Mostly used with HPGL files.
Origin of The zero point is at the coordinate origin, i.e.
Coordinates where the CAD programs places it for the output. N
This setting is to be recommended if several files
are being used on the same workpiece, e.g. routing
and drilling a board or when using G code files.
Center The zero point is in the middle of the workpiece, i.e.
exactly in the center of the coordinate dimensions
in the X and Y-axis directions. This setting is useful
for processing round workpieces, e.g. plates.
Language
WinPC-NC is multilingual. The standard version already includes a
few languages, and additional languages can easily be bolted on if
required. The available languages are listed in a menu.
