96-8000
Parameter 242 3RD AUX MAX TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the third auxillary (V) axis in the positive direction.
Parameter 243 4TH AUX MAX TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the fourth auxillary (W) axis in the positive
direction.
Parameter 244 1ST AUX MIN TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the first auxillary (C) axis in the negative direction.
Parameter 245 2ND AUX MIN TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the second auxillary (U) axis in the negative
direction.
Parameter 246 3RD AUX MIN TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the third auxillary (V) axis in the negative direction.
Parameter 247 4TH AUX MIN TRAVEL
This parameter sets the maximum travel of the fourth auxillary (W) axis in the negative
direction.
Parameter 248 SMTC RLY ON / OFF DLY
Vertical mills with sidemount tool changers only. For the Pasma serpentine type tool changer,
it specifies the time needed (in milliseconds) between activating or deactivating the Direction
relay and the Motor Enable relay. For the Disk type 1 tool changer, it specifies the time
needed (in milliseconds) between turning off one relay and turning on the other one, when
reversing the carousel.
Parameter 249 TOOL CLAMP DELAY
This parameter provides a delay after the tool has been clamped and before retraction of the
tool carousel at the end of a tool change. For most mills, this parameter should be set to zero.
Units are milliseconds.
Parameter 250 TOOL UNCLAMP DELAY
This parameter provides a delay after the tool has been unclamped and before the spindle is
backed away at the beginning of a tool change. For most mills, this parameter should be set
to zero. Units are in milliseconds.
Parameter 255 CONVEYOR TIMEOUT
The amount of time (in minutes) the conveyor will operate without any machine motion or
keyboard action. After this time, the conveyor will automatically shut off.
Parameter 256 PALLET LOCK INPUT
Used in horizontal mills only.
Parameter 257 SPINDL ORIENT OFSET
If the machine is equipped with a spindle vector drive (as set in bit 7 of Parameter 278), this bit
sets the spindle orientation offset. The offset is the number of encoder steps between the Z
pulse and the correct spindle orientation position. It is used to orient the spindle properly
anytime it needs to be locked, such as prior to a tool change, or orient spindle command.
