Software limits of the axes.
9.7 Software limits of the axes.
The software limits set the travel limits for the axes to prevent the carriages from reaching
the mechanical hard stops. The carriages reach the hard stops when the reference point of
the tool holder is placed at the physical limits. The CNC lets set the software limits on linear
axes and on linearlike rotary axes.
The programmable positions of the axes depend on the dimensions of each tool. When
programming a position where the reference point of the tool holder is beyond the software
limits, the CNC interrupts the execution and shows the pertinent error message.
Software limits applied by the CNC.
The CNC can have two groups of software limits active, where each group may consist of
an upper limit and a lower limit for each axis; i.e. each axis may have two upper limits and
two lower limits. Of the four possible software limits for each axis, the CNC will apply the most
restrictive upper and lower limit even if they do not belong to the same group.
