Tool inspection.
4.5.1 Tool inspection (execution in retrace mode, independent interpolator or
rigid tapping).
In the following cases, the CNC uses a particular case of tool inspection that also allows
moving the axes, acting upon the spindle and changing the feedrate, spindle speed,
executing M functions, etc. using the MHFS mode.
• The CNC is executing the program in retrace mode.
• The independent interpolator is involved in the movement of an axis (#MOVE, #FOLLOW,
#CAM, etc).
• A rigid tapping is active (the rest of the threading do not admit any type of inspection.).
Once tool inspection is completed and before resuming the execution of the program, the
spindle must be started and the axes repositioned to the point where tool inspection began.
Once the axes are repositioned, press [START] to resume program execution.
Rigid tapping and tool inspection mode
When interrupting the rigid tapping and accessing the tool inspection mode, it is possible
to jog the axes (only in jog mode) that are involved in threading. When moving the axis, the
interpolated spindle will also move; the spindle used to make the thread. If rigid tapping
involves several axes, when moving one of them, all the other ones involved in the thread
will also move.
This allows moving the axis into or out of the thread as often as desired until pressing the
repositioning softkey. The axes move at the programmed F except when an axis or spindle
exceeds its maximum feedrate allowed (parameter MAXMANFEED), in which case, the
feedrate will be limited to that value.
The spindle jogging keys are disabled during tool inspection. It is only possible to get out
of the thread by jogging one of the axes involved in rigid tapping. Functions M3, M4, M5 and
M9 cannot be programmed at the spindle; they are ignored.
While repositioning, when selecting one of the axes of the thread on the softkey menu, it will
move all the axes and spindle involved in the thread.
Repositioning the axes and the spindle.
Repositioning the axes.
The axes may be repositioned one by one or all at the same time. To reposition them, select
the axes with the relevant softkey and press [START]. The axes reposition at the feedrate
defined by the OEM.
The axes may be repositioned using the JOG keys or handwheels. On the other hand,
repositioning may be interrupted (using the [STOP] key) to select other axes. Once one axis
has reached its position, it will no longer be available.
When in one of the previous cases, the execution is interrupted, this tool inspection allows
the following operations:
• Jogging the axes using the JOG keys of the operator panel or handwheels.
• Stop and start the spindle using the keys on the operator panel.
• Access the CNC tables (tools, tool offsets, etc.) and modify their data.
• Changing the machining conditions executing any M, F, H, S function through the MHSF
softkey.
To end tool inspection and reposition the spindle and the axes at the point where tool
inspection began, press the relevant icon. The axes and the spindle may be repositioned
simultaneously.
After pressing this icon, the CNC will show a list of the axes that are out of position. If the
spindle was stopped during tool inspection, next to the list of axes, it will also show the status
that the spindle had before the inspection.
