AWT 2 (thread wire) to fail for each AWT operation. The parameter is to be set in the
range of 0 to 255. Normally set to 4
WIRE BROKEN RETRY This parameter is used to set the number of times by which
to allow the wire to be broken during cutting for each shape in the program. The
parameter is to be set in the range of 0 to 255. If the wire is broken more times than set by
this parameter, the system will stop its operation, waiting for the “RST” key to be
pressed. Each time the wire breaks it raises the “A” of the “MA” parameter one number.
WIRE REMOVE RETRY This parameter is used to specify whether the system is
provided with a wire tip removal device and to set the number of times by which to
execute wire tip removal after each wire break operation. Normally set to 1.
0: No device provided for wire removal or not to execute wire removal operation.
1 to 999: To execute wire tip removal by number of times set for each AWT
operation.
BUCKLING TIME (SEC) This parameter is used to set the time duration in seconds,
for which to feed the wire backwards if the wire buckles during an AWT attempt.
Normally set to 5
W.B.A.S IGNORE This parameter is used to select whether to relax the machining
condition automatically during AWT operation. This function is only available for the P
type control.
WATER TO OIL TIME (SEC) This parameter is used to set the time duration in
seconds, for which to drain the dielectric when switching from water to oil. Used on
machines equipped with both a water and oil dielectric system (not used on A320, A530,
A350, A500).
