7.6.2 Tool-Change Safety Area Setting
When the desired tools for program machining are totally installed, in the case that the spindle
clamps the workpiece blank, the area, without any impact for one cycle of the tool-post rotation, is
called as the tool-change safety area; refer to the following figure:
the workpiece blank
the tool-change safety area
A(Px,Pz)
X
Z
the chuck
the tool-change impact area
The coordinate of point A in the figure is (Px, Pz), the tool-change safety area is X > Px or Z > Pz;
the tool will not collide with workpiece as long as the tool-change is performed in this safety area. To
carry out the high-efficiency tool-change in the actual machining, the machine operator should be
performed within the safety area setting based upon the following steps:
1) In the absolute coordinate page, press
soft key, refer to the following figure:
2) Press the
soft key, the tool-change safety point setting information window is shown
and covered the integrated information window. It will show a unset state when X or Z axis does
not set; it will show the coordinate value of setting when X or Z is set. The initial state is as
follows:
