37-2
Use these parameters as general control operating parameters, which are
used to configure very basic control operations, such as E-Stop Reset,
probe trigger signals, and PAL operation.
If the application type is grinder:
These parameters are not displayed: This additional parameter is displayed:
Lathe type Always repeat turning cycles
Move Tool to 7300/M06 Position (3)
7300/M06 Home Position
Function
This parameter specifies the lathe type for which the control is configured.
The selected lathe type determines the G-code system (A, B, or C) that the
control uses. Refer to your programming and operation manual for
additional information on lathe G-code systems.
Axis Parameter

All [518]
Range
Selection Result
(a) Lathe A
(b) Lathe B
(c) Lathe C
Notes
This is a global parameter; the value set here applies to all axes
and processes.
Lathe type A cannot use 9 axes if you are performing incremental moves.
Lath type A uses U, V, W as axis names for incremental axes. This reduces
the number of axis names available on Lathe Type A so that the maximum
number of axes allowed is 6 axes.
