WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming v546CO Conversational Part Programming 2-63
Use these fields for programming Cutoff data blocks:
• TOOL—identifies the tool number that will be used in the part program.
• TOOL OFFSETS—identifies the programmed tool offset and orientation
programmed in Tool Setup that will be used. You can accept or change this
offset.
• INSERT TIP RADIUS—displays the insert tip radius programmed in Tool
Setup. This field is read-only. Use Safe Rapid Point checkbox—activates the
X Rapid and Z Rapid fields for entering the location for the X and Z axes to
move at rapid feedrate at the start and end of the cycle.
• X START (DIA) or RAD)—identifies the X axis starting location. The tool
begins cutting at the programmed feedrate at this location.
• Z START—identifies Z axis starting location. The tool begins cutting at the
programmed feedrate at this location.
• ADVANCE PART CATCHER—advances the parts catcher and enables the
ADVANCE AT X and PAUSE AT END (SEC) fields when Yes is selected. This
field is available when the optional Parts Catcher is installed.
• W POSITION—contains the location of the programmable tailstock or sub-
spindle. This field is available when the optional Parts Catcher is installed and
ADVANCE PART CATCHER is set to YES. This field appears for TMX, TMX MY,
and TMX MYS series machines.
• ADVANCE AT X (DIA) or (RAD)—specifies the position along the X axis
which triggers the advance of the Parts Catcher when the tool reaches the
specified location. This field is available when the optional Parts Catcher is
installed and ADVANCE PART CATCHER is set to YES.
• PAUSE AT END (SEC)—specifies the amount of time in seconds for the
turret to pause while the parts catcher starts retracting. After the delay, the
turret moves to X End. This field is available when the optional Parts Catcher
is installed and ADVANCE PART CATCHER is set to YES.
• X END (DIA) or (RAD)—identifies the X axis end location for the Cutoff
block. The tool stops cutting at this location.
• SPEED—identifies the RPM value or Constant Surface Speed value for this
tool.
• FEED—identifies the programmed feed rate for this tool.
• PECK TYPE—select either Standard, Dwell, or Chip Breaker.
• STANDARD—feeds to depth and retracts at Rapid to the retract
dimension (R-Plane). Standard is the default operation.
• DWELL—drills with a dwell at the bottom.
• CHIP BREAKER—feeds to a peck depth, retracts at Rapid a short
distance, then feeds to the next peck depth. This is repeated until the
programmed depth is achieved.
The spindle is enabled and turns at the value programmed in the
Speed field during the rapid move to X Start (Dia) or (Rad) and
Z Start.
