AWT TYPE This parameter is used to select the type of AWT unit to be used. Normally
set to 4
0: No AWT unit to be used.
1 : Not defined.
2 : Not defined.
3 : Not defined.
4 : All AWT types.
S : AWT designed to special specification.
AWT IN OIL (SEC) When the machining is to be performed in submerged mode, this
parameter is used to select whether or not to drain the work tank during AWT 2 cycle. On
an A320D set this to 30. On A530D’s it is only needed with parts 5.0” or thicker.
0: Do not drain worktank.
1 to 999: To execute AWT operation with work tank drained .Time is specified in
seconds and is entered as the amount of time it takes to drain the worktank to the
lower flush cup.
AWT 1 FEED TIME (SEC) This parameter is used to set the time in seconds, for which
to pull out the wire cut by AWT 1 operation. Normally set to 1
AWT OFFSET XY (UV) These parameters are used to set the distance by which to
offset the U/V axes for the AWT thread cycle. This offset aims the water jet at the lower
guide. This needs to be set correctly for the AWT to work.
AWT 2 FEED SPEED This parameter is used to set the speed at which the pinch rollers
pull the wire for AWT2 operation. Normally set to 6.
0:To cause the wire pull speed to be set according to the setting of the wire speed
knob.
1 to 12: To cause the wire speed to be controlled on the NC side instead of the
wire speed knob. The higher the setting, the faster the ejection rollers will pull the
wire during the AWT cycle.
AWT 2 FEED TIME (SEC) This parameter is used to set the time in seconds, for which
the pinch rollers on the AWT unit feed the wire, after the pipe is down, during the thread
operation. Normally set to 30
AWT Z UP This parameter is used to set the distance that the Z axis will raise if the wire
breaks. If used, the Z axis raises after the wire breaks, but before the X and Y move back
to the AWT rethread point. This may be used if the upper head has to clear a clamp as it
travels back to the rethread point. If it is needed, enter the amount in inches (or mm) that
you need the Z axis to move up. Normally set to 0
AWT RETRY This parameter is used to set the number of times by which to allow
