WinPC-NC Economy Parameter settings
Park position
Defined position
for breaks
It is necessary to define a park position if the machine slide is to be
moved out of the working area at certain times. This may be
necessary for a tool change, for example, or for clamping the
workpiece.
It is also possible to make this definition during jog movement by
moving into position with the keyboard or mouse.
The parked position can be moved to in jog movement or
automatically during a tool change and at the end of a working
process.
The unit is millimeters and the distances are measured from the
machine reference point (machine coordinates).
Scaling factors
It is possible to compensate for calibration differences using the
scaling factors. If both the axis resolution and the unit of
measurement are set correctly but the machine does not move to the
exact length nevertheless, this problem can be corrected using the
scaling factors.
The values must be specified to 3 decimal places and are used for
multiplying the coordinate values to which the machine is to move. It
affects the imported NC data only.
Tool lift
Additional
clearance for
avoiding
collisions
It is possible to define an additional height above the zero point level
of the Z-axis as a safety clearance. The tool is lifted above the zero
point by this distance during every unproductive movement with
rapid speed and the new height is used as tool lift height.
On the next plunge movement, WinPC-NC first covers the safety
clearance down to the zero point at high speed, before pressing into
the material with the defined plunge speed.
Unit of measurement
Wide range of
predefined units
of measurement
The unit of measurement for working data must be defined using this
parameter. All coordinate values in the working file are related to a
particular dimension.
