4-3 Override
What's an Override?
On this machine, you can adjust the cutting speed and the speed of spindle rotation while cutting is in prog-
ress. You adjust these by specifying the ratio of change relative to the present speed, as a percentage. This
feature is called "override." This feature is useful when you want to change the respective speeds on the fly as
you monitor the status of cutting.
How to Set Overrides
Cutting-speed Override
This is the speed of tool movement when cutting the workpiece. The speed specified by the command in the
cutting data is taken to be 100%.
Spindle Override
This is the speed of spindle rotation. The speed specified by the command in the cutting data is taken to be
100%. This is also effective when rotating the spindle during manual operations.
Important Notes on Overrides
Setting an override does not let you perform operation beyond the machine's maximum or minimum
speeds.
Clicking these buttons adjusts the values.
