Figure 7.5

Jog Retract Operation

Jog retract exit moves

Jog retract return moves

In Figure 7.5 the control only recognized 6 jog moves upon returning

instead of the actual 11 moves that were made to retract the tool. This is

because the jog retract feature records consecutive jog moves on the same

axis as one move.

CAUTION: If the number of jog retract moves performed

exceeds the maximum allowed number set in AMP, the control

moves the cutting tool directly from the final point of jog retract

to the last remembered jog retract point along a straight line

when

<CYCLE START>

is pressed. Then the tool is returned in

the normal jog retract fashion.
