3) Rotating direction command of turret
In case that turret is indexed by T-code command, turret will be rotated in direction
of the short distance automatically.
But in case of using M-code as follows, turret can be rotated in the direction
specified.
M-code listed below is commanded in same block with T-code or previous block with
T-code. Rotating direction M-code commanded once is valid in only one T-code. In
case of commanding T-code again after turret rotating, turret will be rotates in the
direction of the short distance normally. And rotating direction determination function
by M-code is only valid in automatic mode.
- M180 ; Specified the rotating direction of turret to CW direction which the tool
number increases.
- M181 ; Specified the rotating direction of turret to CCW direction which the tool
number decreases.
Above M-code can be used in case that interference occurs when special tool
attached to tool holder and turret is rotated in the specific direction.
In order to index into tool no. 4, turret
should be rotated in the CCW
direction of the short distance. But it
is rotated in CW direction by M180
command.
In order to index into tool no. 3 again,
turret should be rotated in the CCW
direction of the short distance. and it
is rotated in CCW direction by M181
command.
