WinPC-NC Economy Parameter settings
Machine bed dimensions and area monitoring
Machine size The effective movement area of the machine can be defined using
these parameters. If area monitoring is activated, WinPC-NC checks
and monitors these limits during subsequent movements, including
jog movement.
A parameter activates or deactivates monitoring of this limits.
Reference point position
As a rule, the axes positions are reset at the reference switches during
a reference move, i. e. the machine zero points are determined by the
reference switches.
With some units it is adavantageous to place the reference switches
on the opposite side of the axes and not as usually on the negative
end.
Reference
positions
individually
definable
With the paramater reference point is it is easy to instruct Win-PC-
NC to set these specified positions on the reference switches and to
place the machine zero point to a desired position.
Reference offset
Safe moving free
of the reference
switch
To avoid a stop directly at the reference switch's edge after a
reference and moving free it is possible to determine an additional
path with the reference offset.This has to be carried out after moving
free from the switch. First after moving the offset the axis is resetted
or the defined reference position is adjusted.
Typical values are 0.5 to 1mm additional distances to the switch.
Backlash compensation
Drives which can not be adjusted absolutely close may cause
insignificant differences during reversal of dircection. These
differences can be added up within the job process. This reversal
drive can be compensated by these paramaters.
Parameters for any axes are available in order to define the open
curcuit steps. The number of the motor steps are additionally
indicated with any direction reversal.
Standard value means 0 steps und should remain unchanged if drives
are closely adjusted.
