Reference movement of an axis

Reference point of

the machine

The edge of the reference switch defines the absolute machine zero

point or reference point for this axis. A low value should be

specified for speed 2 so the movement ends with the shortest

possible ramp when moving free.

WinPC-NC distinguishes between machine coordinates (with the

reference position as their origin) and workpiece coordinates

with the workpiece zero point.

Changeover time

The changeover time defines the delay for the transition from single

step to continuous movement in jog mode.

WinPC-NC outputs individual steps to the motors every time one of

the cursor keys is pressed briefly or the mouse button is used to click

one of the movement buttons once. If one key or button remains

pressed for a longer time, that is the changeover time, the motor

changes to coninous movement and is not stopped until the key or

button is released.

Standard spindle speed

The standard spindle speed is always used unless another setting is

made specifically in the NC program or in the tool parameters.

Usually this is the case when starting the spindle in jog movement or

working process.

Reset override speed

The feed and spindle rate are permanently changeable while WinPC-

NC is processing a job. This paramater stipulates how long this

alteration is activated.
