WinPC-NC Economy Parameter settings
There are 3 possible start and end positions :
Stop WinPC-NC stops at the reference position
after reference movement, and at the last
coordinate after each job process
Zero point The machine moves to the defined zero point
after reference movement and after each
job process.
Park position WinPC-NC moves to the defined parked
position after reference movement and after
each job process.
It is a good idea to move to a certain position after the working
process if space is required in order to change the workpiece.
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.
3 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.
