Supplementary conditions
●
If the C axis is not defined as a "Punch-nibble axis", then the C axis motion path is not
segmented in block
N30
in the above example nor is a stroke initiated at the block end.
●
If the functionality described above is to be implemented in a variant not specific to
nibbling applications, but with alignment of the special axis, then stroke initiation can be
suppressed by the following PLC interface signal:
V3200 0003.2 (stroke suppression)
(Application: e.g. alignment of electron beam during welding)
A similar response can be programmed with the following machine data setting:
MD26014 PUNCH_PATH_SPLITTING = 1
In this case, the path is segmented irrespective of punching or nibbling functions.
