WinPC-NC Economy Parameter settings
i
WinPC-NC usually recognizes the format of the selected file
automatically.
Automatic identification of the format
Usually most of the supporting NC formats are automatically
recognized by WinPC-NC during file opening. It rarely happens that
errors are produced in this way. If it should be the case they can be
easily eliminated by switching off the identification function and by
manual adjustment of the correct format.
Ignore movement to zero (PA0,0)
It is a feature of HPGL and Multicam files that there is usually a
PA0,0 command at the end of the program to move to the coordinate
zero point. This can be suppressed using this parameter if it is not
required.
Ignore feed rate and spindle speeds
HPGL, MultiCAM and G code formats also contain commands to set
the spindle speed and the feed rate. Activate these checkboxes if you
want to use the values set in the parameters rather than the
commands in the NC file.
Invert Z-axis
Many CAD programs generate negative coordinates for plunge
movements of the Z-axis. Activating this checkbox inverts the
coordinates of the Z-axis so that these NC files can also be read in
and processed correctly.
G02/G03 - I/J/K relative
There are various dialects of G code programs. In some, the circle
parameters I/J/K are specified as absolute values, while in others they
are relative distances from the current position.This parameter
enables you to distinguish between the types.
