Fixed-point approach in JOG
8.5.1
Introduction
Function
The machine user can use the "Approach fixed point in JOG" function to approach axis
positions defined using machine data by actuating the traversing keys of the Machine
Control Panel or by using the handwheel. The traveling axis comes to a standstill
automatically on reaching the defined fixed point.
Applications
Typical applications are, for example:
●
Approaching a basic position before starting an NC program.
●
Travel towards tool change points, loading points and pallet change points.
Requirements
●
The "Approaching fixed point in JOG" can be activated only in the JOG mode.
The function cannot be enabled in the JOG-REPOS and JOG-REF sub-modes and in
JOG in the AUTOMATIC mode.
●
The axis to be traversed must be referenced.
●
A kinematic transformation may not be active.
●
The axis to be traversed must not be a synchronized axis of an active coupling.
●
No ASUPs are executed.
Approaching a fixed point with G75
The process for approaching defined fixed points can be activated from the part program too
using the
G75
command.
