CUTCOM - 5 Axis Mill

General

This panel only applies to a Cincinnati 5-Axis Machine with the PQR option. You can find general information about CUTCOM-PQ Vectors at Mill ... CUTCOM - PQ Vectors. Specifics to the PQR option for the 5 - Axis mill are shown below.

PQ vectors output on each CUTCOM/LEFT-RIGHT, XYZ

As mentioned above this only applies to a Cincinnati 5-Axis mill. You should check this box if you require PQR vectors to be output on each CUTCOM block. The Intcom value associated with this check box are:

• INTCOM (4356) = 0 PQR cutcom is not available (default)

• INTCOM (4356) = 1 PQR cutcom is available

Use the GPost command CUTCOM/LEFT-RIGHT, XYZ to turn on-of the PQR compensation mode as needed. This must be given in the input source file (see example below):

Example:

     PARTNO TEST

     MACHIN/UNCX01, n

     MULTAX

     --

     GOTO/P1

     CUTCOM/LEFT, XYZ            $$ ENABLE PQR

     GOTO/P2

     GOTO/P3

     etc...

     CUTCOM/OFF                        $$ DISABLE PQR

     GOTO/P1

     --

     FINI

Notes:

• Post must be configured as a 5-Axis machine

• CUTCOM/--, XYZ must be in the input source

• Circular interpolation will be disabled in PQR mode

• MULTAX must be in effect

A new common location is used as an internal flag by the GPost for this command. Do not set this location in FIL or with PLABEL. The common is:

• INTCOM (4357) = 0 CUTCOM/--, XYZ is not given

• INTCOM (4357) = 1 CUTCOM/--, XYZ for PQR is in effect

Vector Modality

P/Q modal switch. Choose the radio button selection that best represents your machine control requirements.
