This is the minimum distance the control recognizes on a linear motion block. This value applies to the X, Y, and Z(W) axes.
Rotary axis pulse value describes the minimum amount of movement the rotary axis will move in radial motion. The minimum value is 0.000001 and the maximum value is 9.0.
This is the maximum departure allowed in a single block of motion data. Any motion over this limit is divided into multiple records. NOTE: Incremental mode must be available for this feature to be in effect.
Also see the postprocessor command MCHTOL.
Note: as of version 5.7, it is possible to allow "Max Departure", "Linear Resolution" , and "Rotary Resolution" to be set by the system (recommended). If set by the system, the Linear Resolution and Max Departure will be based on the formats for of the X-Axis, Y-Axis, and Z-Axis register addresses. The Rotary Resolution would be based on the formats of the Primary and Secondary (if applicable) rotary axes. If set by the system, the fields holding these values will be disabled (grayed), but will show the system calculated values.
This option applies to multi-axis machines only. This option controls whether motion related machine letter registers (e.g. GXYZIJKF, etc.) are treated as if they are modal or non-modal. Equivalent postprocessor commands:
PLABEL/OPTION,88,TO,0 $$ Address registers GXYZIJKF are modal (default)
PLABEL/OPTION,88,TO,1 $$ Address registers GXYZIJKF are not modal
PLABEL/OPTION,88,TO,2 $$ Address registers XYZIJK are not modal (does not include G and F)
This option applies to multi-axis machines only. If while processing a MULTAX CL File, a CL Point with only 3 parameters (XYZ) is encountered, one of the following will be selections can be made:
Use Previous tool axis
Set tool Axis = 0,0,1
This option applies to multi-axis machines only. When a rotary axis move to 0 or 360 is output the post can automatically reformat that move as follows:
+/- 0 outputs +/- 0 and +/- 360 outputs +/- 360
-360 will output –0
+0 will output +360
+/- 0 will output +/- 360
Select the desired output for 0 and 360
Set the vector component to zero if tolerances are less then the following tolerances:
This option applies to multi-axis machines only. The tool axis vector affects the rotary motion of the machine. The vector tolerance is the smallest deviation allowed by the post for calculating a new rotary axis move. Some systems output very small vector deviations, sometimes called vector wiggle, which will cause very small rotary axis moves to be output. You can eliminate these small rotary axis moves by changing the vector tolerance, the larger the tolerance the less vector deviation allowed.
This is used to compare the current IJK vector of GOTO/cmd with the last vector. If they are same within this value, then the IJK is assumed to be the same and no rotary motion will be output.
