HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAMMING - Define Tcpm Function; Mode of Action of the Programmed Feed Rate

474 Programming: Multiple Axis Machining
12.4 TCPM FUNCTION (Software Option 2)
Define TCPM FUNCTION
U Press the Special Functions key.
U Press the Programming Aids soft key.
U Select the TCPM FUNCTION function.
Mode of action of the programmed feed rate
The TNC provides two functions for defining the mode of action of the
programmed feed rate:
U F TCP determines that the programmed feed rate is
interpreted as the actual relative velocity between the
tool point (tool center point) and the workpiece.
U F CONT determines that the programmed feed rate is
interpreted as the contouring feed rate of the axis
programmed in the respective NC block.
Example NC blocks:
...
13 FUNCTION TCPM F TCP ... Feed rate refers to the tool point
14 FUNCTION TCPM F CONT ... Feed rate is interpreted as the speed of the tool
along the contour
