Entering traverse limits
Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine tool builder configures and enables the
Traverse limits
function.
The
Traverse limits
MOD function in the
Machine settings
group
enables you to limit the actually usable traverse path within the
maximum range of traverse. Thus, you can define traverse limits on
each axis (e.g., to protect an indexing head from collision).
To define traverse limits, proceed as follows:
Select the
Machine settings
group in the MOD menu
Select the
Traverse limits
function
Define a value in the
Lower limit
or
Upper limit
column
or
Apply the current position by pressing the
ACTUAL POSITION CAPTURE
soft key
Press the
APPLY
soft key
The control validates the defined values.
Press the
OK
soft key
The control saves the defined traverse limits.
Operating notes:
The protection zone becomes active automatically as
soon as you have set a valid traverse limit in an axis.
The settings are kept even after the control has been
restarted.
The only way to deactivate the traverse limits is to
delete all values or to press the
EMPTY EVERYTHING
soft key.
