4.12 Special Functions

4.12.7 Load Monitoring

The load monitoring function checks the performance and work
values of the drives and compares them to limit values which have
been determined during a reference machining cycle.

The CNC PILOT considers two limit values:

If the first limit value is exceeded, the tool is marked as worn out

and the tool life monitoring inserts the replacement tool during the
next program run (see “

4.2.4 Tool Programming”).

Second limit value exceeded: The load monitor reports a broken

tool and stops the program run (feed stop).

Defining a monitoring zone G995

G995 defines the monitoring zone and the axes to be monitored.

G995 with parameter: Beginning of monitoring zone n

G995 without parameter: End of the monitoring zone (not

required, if another monitoring zone follows)

The zone number must be unambiguous in the NC program. A
maximum of 49 monitoring zones per slide are possible.

Parameters
H:

Zone number—range: 1 to 999

Q:

Code for axes (drives to be monitored):

1:

X axis

2:

Y axis

4:

Z axis

8:

Spindle

16:

Spindle 1

128: C axis 1

Add the codes if you want to monitor more than one drive.
(Example: Monitoring the Z axis and main spindle: Q=12.)

Type of load monitoring G996

With G996 you can temporarily switch off the load monitoring and
define the type of monitoring.

Parameters
Q:

Scope of monitoring—default: 0

Q=0: Monitoring not active (effective for the entire NC

program; even previously programmed G995 are rendered
ineffective)

Q=1: Rapid traverse movements not monitored

Q=2: Rapid traverse movements monitored.

H:

Type of monitoring—default: 0

H=0: Torque and work monitoring

H=1: Torque monitoring

H=2: Work monitoring.

Example: Load monitoring
