5.5. Setting/changing rate
The traverse rate of the axes can be set/changed as follows:
Changing over between two basic traverse rates:
o
rapid traverse rate
o
crawl traverse rate (20% of the rapid traverse rate)
Infinite fine adjustment of the rapid traverse rate. Speed is varied by speed-
control knob.
NOTE !
The traverse rate setting affects all axes.
NOTE !
The traverse rate setting can also be changed while an automatic CNC
program is running. A reduction of the traverse rate is a good idea when
testing a new program, for example. In this case, the CNC traverse rate is
overridden by the traverse rate set at the control panel (traverse rate
override).
This is how to switch over between rapid and crawl traverse rate:
Check the existing setting on the "fast-/slow" key:
o
LED next to the hare lights up
→
Rapid traverse rate is switched on.
o
LED next to the turtle lights up
→
Crawl traverse rate is switched on.
To switch over, press the "fast-/slow" key.
You have now changed the basic traverse rate.
How to change max. traverse-speed:
Faster: Turn knob cw
Slow: Turn ccw
NOTE !
There is an superposition with other speed-settings (hare, turtle, software-
settings)
The setting is still retained even if:
- the EMERGENCY STOP button is pressed
- the power supply for the servo drives is switched off
