Range

or
0.00000 to .39366 inch

Notes

This is a global parameter. The value set here applies to all axes and

processes.

Function

This parameter limits the amount of automatic feedrate reduction that

occurs under certain compensation conditions.

When cutting along the inside of a circular path with cutter compensation

active, the actual compensated path covers less distance than the

programmed path. As a result, the control automatically reduces the

feedrate as much as necessary to maintain a constant cutting feedrate (tool

tip relative to point of contact on the workpiece).

This parameter sets a minimum to that feedrate reduction. The value

entered here is the minimum percentage of the programmed feedrate that is

allowed.

If 100% is entered here, it effectively disables automatic feedrate reduction

during cutter compensation.

This is not a per-axis parameter. The value selected here is applied to all

axes and processes.
