Remember the following before you record a teach-in cut:

If required, adapt the control settings in the AFC.TAB table
Enter the desired control setting for all tools in the

AFC column

of the tool table TOOL.T
Select the program for teach-in
Activate the adaptive feed control by soft key, See "Activating/

deactivating AFC", page 351

When you are performing a teach-in cut, the TNC

shows the spindle reference power determined until

this time in a pop-up window.
You can reset the reference power at any time by

pressing the PREF RESET soft key. The TNC then

restarts the learning phase.
When you record a teach-in cut, the TNC internally

sets the spindle override to 100 %. Then you can no

longer change the spindle speed.
During the teach-in cut, you can influence the

measured reference load by using the feed rate

override to make any changes to the contouring feed

rate.
You do not have to run the entire machining step in

the learning mode. If the cutting conditions do not

change significantly, you can switch to the control

mode immediately. Press the EXIT LEARNING soft
key, and the status changes from

L to C.

You can repeat a teach-in cut as often as desired.
Manually change the status from

ST back to L. It

may be necessary to repeat the teach-in cut if the

programmed feed rate is far too fast, and forces you

to sharply decrease the feed rate override during the

machining step.
The TNC changes the status from teach-in

(L) to

controlling

(C) only when the recorded reference

load is greater than 2 %. Adaptive feed control is not

possible for smaller values.
