ATOL: Address for programming an axis-specific tolerance
Applications:
● All compressor functions
● ORISON orientation smoothing
● All smoothing types except G641, G644 and OSD
Preprocessing stop: No
Effective: Modal
<Axis>: Name of the channel axis to which the programmed tolerance will
apply
<Value>: The value for the axis tolerance will be specified as a length or an
angle dependent on the axis type (linear or rotary axis).
Type: REAL
Unit: For linear axes: inch/mm (dependent on
the current dimensions set‐
ting)
For rotary axes: degrees
Value range: ≥ 0: Tolerance value
< 0: The programmed tolerance value is de‐
leted
⇒ The tolerance value parameterized in
the machine or setting data becomes ef‐
fective again.
Note
The channel-specific tolerance values programmed with CTOL and OTOL have higher priority
than the axis-specific tolerance values programmed with ATOL.
Note
Scaling frames
Scaling frames affect programmed tolerances in the same way as axis positions; in other
words, the relative tolerance remains the same.
