Defining the AFC basic settings

You make the control settings for the TNC feed rate control in the
table

AFC.TAB,

which must be saved in the root directory

TNC:

\table.
The data in this table are default values that were copied during
a teach-in cut into a file belonging to the respective program and
serve as the basis for control. The following data are to be defined
in this table:

Column

Function

NR

Consecutive line number in the table (has no further
functions)

AFC

Name of the control setting. You enter this name
in the

AFC column of the tool table. It specifies the

assignment of control parameters to the tool.

FMIN

Feed rate at which the TNC is to conduct a
shutdown response. Enter the value in percent with
respect to the programmed feed rate. Input range:
50 to 100 %

FMAX

Maximum feed rate in the material up to which the
TNC can automatically increase the feed rate. Enter
the value in percent of the programmed feed rate.

FIDL

Feed rate for traverse when the tool is not cutting
(feed rate in the air). Enter the value in percent of
the programmed feed rate.

FENT

Feed rate for traverse when the tool moves into or
out of the material. Enter the value in percent with
respect to the programmed feed rate. Maximum
input value: 100 %

OVLD

Desired reaction of the TNC to overload:

M: Execution of a macro defined by the machine
tool builder
S: Immediate NC stop
F: NC stop if the tool has been retracted
E: Just display an error message on the screen
-: No overload reaction

The TNC conducts a shutdown response if the
maximum spindle power is exceeded for more than
one second and at the same time the feed rate falls
below the minimum you defined. Enter the desired
function via the ASCII keyboard.
