Tool inspection
Begin tool inspection.
Tool inspection may be accessed from the vertical
softkey menu only when the execution of the program
has been interrupted ([STOP] key) and when the
program is not being executed. After activating tool
inspection, it is possible to jog the axes using the jog
keyboard, act upon the master spindle of the channel
from the operator panel and execute blocks from the
MDI/MDA mode.
Execute blocks in MDI/MDA mode.
Any program block may be executed in MDI/MDA
mode. The conditions when entering the MDI/MDA
mode will be those of the interruption point; i.e. the CNC
maintains the history of active G and M functions,
feedrate, spindle speed, tool and other commands that
were programmed. However, the CNC treats certain
functions and commands (type of movements, radius
compensation, etc.) differently. Refer to the operating
manual.
In general, all the changes made in MDI/MDA mode are
kept active when resuming the program after tool
inspection except the following functions that are
restored at the time of interruption; type of interpolation
(G00, G01, G02, G03, G33 or G63), G90/G91 function
or #MCS function.
Repositioning the axes and the spindle.
To complete the tool inspection and before resuming the
execution of the program, the spindle turning direction
must be restored and the axes repositioned.
Repositioning the axes at the interruption point.
Repositioning the axes at the starting point of the
interrupted block.
Canceling repositioning.
