21.1 Activate the virtual tool axis.
The instruction #VIRTAX is used to activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis.
Programming.
When defining this instruction, it is also possible to define the position value (coordinate)
where the axis is located.
Programming format.
The programming format is the following; the list of arguments appears between curly
brackets and the optional ones between angle brackets.
#VIRTAX ON
#VIRTAX ON <[{pos}]>
Programming the ON command is optional.
Axis position.
This parameter may be used to activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis considering
that it is positioned in a specific position. If 0 is programmed, the CNC considers that the
virtual tool axis is positioned in the 0 position.
If the axis position is not programmed, the CNC activates the virtual axis taking its current
position into account.
{pos}
Optional. Axis position.
#VIRTAX
Activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis, in its current position.
#VIRTAX ON
Activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis, in its current position.
#VIRTAX ON [15]
Activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis considering that it is positioned
in position 15.
#VIRTAX [0]
Activate the transformation of the virtual tool axis considering that it is positioned
in position 0.
Example 1. Increase or decrease the machining pass depth while machining
Functions #VIRTAX and G201 are active in the program being executed. In this case, the virtual tool
axis may be moved while the program is running.
Having the virtual axis active on the tool axis, the tool axis has moved the W distance by means
of additive interpolation (G201).
