Rapid Traverse Rate Override Switches [RAPID OVERRIDE]
The RAPID OVERRIDE switches are used to adjust rapid
traverse rate.
For example, these switches are used when a tool is
moved at a rapid traverse rate in test cutting.
During test cutting, although positioning is specified at a
rapid traverse rate, positioning must
be executed at a
relatively slow feedrate to ensure safe operation. The
switches are used in such a case to lower axis feedrate
when executing positioning while checking axis feed
operation.
Switch operation is impossible with the PANEL
key-switch placed in the
(OFF) position.
The rapid traverse rate is adjusted in three steps;
(fine feed), 25%, and 100% (set rapid
traverse rate).
1.
When the power is turned on,
(fine feed) is selected to ensure safety.
2.
For manual operation, the maximum allowable override value is 50%. Therefore, if
the
(100%) switch is pressed, the override value is 50%.
3.
The rapid traverse override function is valid in the dry run mode.
4.
When the operation mode is changed from automatic to manual,
(fine feed) is
selected to ensure safety.
