Note
On loading the block into the main run, all programmed values are transferred into the
setting data.
Deactivate constant cutting rate, G97/G971
After G97/G971 the control interprets an S word as a spindle speed in rpm again. If you do
not specify a new spindle speed, the last speed set by G96/G961 is retained.
• The G96/G961 function can also be deactivated with G94 or G95. In this case, the last
programmed speed S is used for further machining operations.
• G97 can be programmed without G96 beforehand. The function then has the same effect
as G95; LIMS can also be programmed.
• With G961 and G971 the constant cutting rate can be activated/deactivated.
Note
The transverse axis must be defined in machine data.
Rapid traverse G0
With rapid traverse G0, there is no change in speed. Exception: if the contour is approached
in rapid traverse and the next NC block contains a G1, G2, G3 … path command, the speed
is adjusted in the G0 approach block for the next path command.
