Angled Wheel Parameters

Chapter 35

35-11

Function

Use this parameter to define the center of rotation for the wheel axis. On a

typical angled-wheel grinder, the wheel axis rotates about its zero point.

Leave this parameter at it’s default value (0) unless your wheel axis rotates

about some other point. This parameter is used regardless of how the

parameter Wheel Axis Source is configured.

[617]

Always measure the Wheel Position at Rotation Center value from the

machine zero point on the wheel axis. The above figure shows the wheel

axis center of rotation at 7 inches from the machine coordinate system zero

point.

Range

--100000.00000 to 100000.00000 in.

or

--25400000.00000 to 25400000.00000 mm

Notes

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