THE GAUGE AXES
The addition of supplementary axes (to X) does not present any difficulties
for the operator, the fields being clearly defined on the screen.
The safety factors concerning the supplementary axes such as R, X1, X2, Z1
and Z2 are described below.
X-R safety factors
When the R axis is a digital axis, an anti-collision safety factor prohibits the
positioning of the gauge probes in the die.
A safety zone encircling the die provokes a particular type of positioning
when the probes position themselves in this zone.
The safety zone encircling the die is defined by the data introduced in the
machine parameters, and are defined by the manufacturer.
The zone where all positioning is prohibited, is defined using the values in-
troduced for each set of tools.
1 Safety zone
2 Prohibited zone
3 Value Safety die X parameter 50
4 Value Safety die R parameter 50
