Entering spindle data
To enter spindle data:
Select the Spindle direction from the drop-down menu
Enter the Spindle Speed
The Spindle Speed may be entered as an RPM value or, for certain
turning tools, a Surface Speed value. When a Surface Speed
is specified, the spindle rpm is adjusted to maintain a constant
surface speed at the tool tip.
If surface speed is specified:
Enter the gear selection
When Constant Surface Speed is selected, the RPM is limited to
the specified gear’s speed range. To limit the maximum spindle
speed to a lower RPM, set Max Speed in the Job Setup dialogue.
Tool position
Tool Position is optional. The current tool will move to the entered
coordinates before prompting to change the tool. This allows the
current tool to be moved away from the part for changing.
The control moves to the Tool Position before prompting the user
for a tool change, making it unnecessary to program a separate
Position / Drill step before the tool change.
NOTICE
Ensure that moving to this location does not interfere with the
part or fixtures.
Entering a Tool Position:
Highlight Tool Position and enter the location where it is best to
make a tool change away from the part and fixtures
