see "About Maxvel Override" (below).
About Maxvel Override
The maxvel override function affects G00 and G01 commands,
and it's useful for:
l
Running a Program for the First Time Drag the
Maxvel Override slider to 0% to verify that all DRO fields
look appropriate.
l
Safety If you're running a spindle-synchronized move, a
maxvel override isn't ignored.
Verify that the maxvel override value allows the machine
to use the programmed feed rate during spindle-
synchronized moves. If it can't, the spindle-synchronized
move won't produce the results you want.
To indicate lack of motion or unusual levels, the slider turns
yellow when it's either at 0% or above 100%.
7.5.5 Use Single Block Mode
Select Single Block.
Figure 7-79: Single Block button.
For more information on using single block mode, see "About
Single Block" (below).
About Single Block
While single block mode is active, the Single Block button's
light is on.
Single block mode runs one line of G-code at a time. After
each line, motion is paused, and the Cycle Start button flashes.
For information, see "About Cycle Start" (page146).
You can turn single block mode on or off either before starting
a program or while a program is running. For information, see
"Use Single Block Mode" (above).
Note: Single block mode ignores non-motion lines,
like comment lines or blank lines.
7.5.6 Use the Spindle Override Function
To use the spindle override function:
Using the Spindle Override slider, change the
programmed spindle speed by a specific percentage.
Figure 7-80: Spindle Override slider.
Note: Percentages range from 1-200%.
To remove the spindle override function:
Select RPM 100%.
The spindle speed returns to 100% of its programmed
value (it's no longer overriden).
For more information on using the spindle override function,
see "About Spindle Override" (below).
About Spindle Override
The spindle override function won't command the spindle to
move past the maximum allowable speed. If the spindle isn't
moving, the spindle override function is delayed until the next
time spindle starts. The override doesn’t drive the spindle past
its maximum speed. It does affect the speed of a spindle
command limited by a D word.
You can use the spindle override function while you're doing
any of the following activities:
l Running a program
l Using manual data input (MDI) commands
The spindle override function is ignored in the following
situations:
l If the program is running a spindle-synchronized move
l If an M48 (disable feed and speed overrides) command
is used
To indicate lack of motion or unusual levels, the slider turns
yellow when it's either at 0% or above 100%.
7.5.7 Change the Feed Rate
In the Feed Rate DROfield, type in a feed rate. Then
select the Enter key.
Figure 7-81: Feed Rate DRO field.
