Positional Data
3.8 Working area limitation in BCS (G25/G26, WALIMON, WALIMOF)
Fundamentals
110 Programming Manual, 11/2006, 6FC5398-1BP10-2BA0
Example of turning
Using the working area limitation G25/26, the working area of a lathe is limited so that the
surrounding devices and equipment - such as revolver, measuring station etc. - are
protected against damage.
Default setting: WALIMON

Description
Reference point at the tool
When tool length compensation is active, the tip of the tool is monitored as reference point,
otherwise it is the toolholder reference point.
Consideration of the tool radius must be activated separately. This is done using channel-
specific machine data:
MD21020 $MC_WORKAREA_WITH_TOOL_RADIUS
If the tool reference point lies outside the working area defined by the working area limitation
or if this area is left, the program sequence is stopped.
