Cylindrical/Virtual C Parameters
Chapter 30
30-7
Function
This parameter specifies the cylindrical interpolation park axis coordinate
that corresponds to the center of the cylindrical interpolation rotary axis.
This coordinate is used to align the park axis with the center-line of the
rotary axis.
Important: The center of the cylindrical interpolation rotary axis must
coincide with the center of the cylindrical workpiece.
When cylindrical interpolation is activated, the control moves the tool
along the park axis to the park axis coordinate specified by this parameter.
This aligns the park axis with the center-line of the rotary axis. The park
axis is then “parked” by the control.
Parameter Parameter Number
Single Process Process 1 Process 2
Rotary Center Park Coordinate [234] [20234] [21234]
Range
--100000.00000 to 100000.00000 in.
or
--2540000.00000 to 2540000.00000 mm
Notes
This parameter is used for mill controls only. For dual--processing
controls, this is a per process parameter. The value set with this parameter
applies to all of the axes assigned to that process.
This feature is not available on the 9/230 control.
