MC_5015:
Force spindle off
during tool change
The CNC will generate an error
message if tool change is attempted
with spindle running. With an automatic
tool changer, the tool change would
normally handle turning off the spindle.
Yes
[Default]
No
MC_5018:
Restore TLO after
power-up or home
Restore tool-length offset (TLO) after
power-up or home sequence.
No
[Default]
Yes
MC_5019:
Spindle orientation
type
Standard
– Uses the marker pulse
from the motor. Used only when
there is a 1-to-1 ratio in the spindle.
[Default]
X30-Marker – Uses the marker
pulse and the proximity switch.
Used when ratio is not 1-to-1.
X30 Only – Uses the proximity
switch. Used on spindles with
more than one gear.
MC_5020:
Logic of device used
for X30 input
Matches proximity switch logic type
used for spindle orientation via X30.
Norm. Closed
[Default]
Norm. Open
MC_5021:
Spindle orientation
new method selected
The only spindle orientation types
affected by this parameter are:
Standard and X30 Only.
If set to No, spindle orientation stops at
the marker pulse and continues to the
specified angle.
If set to Yes, spindle orientation is
performed without stopping at the
marker pulse.
No
[Default]
Yes
MC_5022:
Spindle orientation
with axis move
If set to No, spindle orientation is
completed then any axis move is
initiated.
If set to Yes, spindle orientation is
performed along with any axis move
that is commanded in the same block
(simultaneous moves). The next block
is executed when both M19 and axis
move are finished.
No
[Default]
Yes
MC_5023:
Spindle orientation
tolerance (deg.)
The M19Flag changes from 1 to 2 only
if the spindle error is within the
tolerance set by MC_5023.
MC_5023 setting 0.0000 (default) is
designed to be the Off setting.
Range (0.0000–5.0000)
0.0000 [Off, Default]
