4.5 Entering Tool-Related Data
Besides the tool data and compensation, you must
also enter the following information:
• Feed rate F
• Spindle speed S
• Miscellaneous functions M
The tool-related data can be determined with the
aid of diagrams (see page 11-15).
Feed rate F
The feed rate is the speed in mm/min (or inch/min) with which the tool
center moves.
Input range:
F = 0 to 30 000 mm/min (1181 inch/min)
The maximum feed rate is set in machine parameters individually for each
axis.
To set the feed rate:
Enter the feed rate F, for example F = 100 mm/min.
Rapid traverse
You can program rapid traverse directly with the G00 function.
Duration of feed rate F
A feed rate that is entered as a numerical value remains in effect until the
control executes a block in which another feed rate has been pro-
grammed.
If the new feed rate is G00 (rapid traverse), the feed rate will return to the
last numerically entered feed rate as soon as the next block with G01 is
executed.
Changing the feed rate F
You can vary the feed rate by turning the knob for feed rate override on
the operating panel (see page 2-6).
