Safety Precautions

This section describes important precautions that apply to motion programming. Before programming,
always read this manual and all other attached documents to ensure correct programming.
Before using the equipment, familiarize yourself with equipment details, safety information, and all other
precautions.

Application Precautions

• When programming the following axis move commands, check the path to make sure that there are no

tools or other obstacles in the way of the workpiece.

The axis move commands that must be checked are as follows:

• Positioning (MOV)
• Linear Interpolation (MVS)
• Circular Interpolation (MCC, MCW)
• Helical Interpolation (MCC, MCW)
• Set Time Positioning (MVT)
• Linear Interpolation with Skip Function (SKP)
• Zero Point Return (ZRN)
• External Positioning (EXM)

Example of Basic Path for Positioning (MOV)

Failure to carry out the above checks may result in damage to equipment, serious personal injury,
or even death.
