Procedure2 Retract
Suppose that the TOOL WITHDRAW switch on the machine operator’s
panel is turned on when the tool is positioned at point A during execution
of the N30 block.
Next, the tool withdrawal mode is set and the TOOL BEING
WITHDRAWN LED goes on. At this time, automatic operation is
temporarily halted. The tool is then retracted by the programmed distance.
If point A is the end point of the block, retraction is performed after
automatic operation is stopped. Retraction is based on linear interpolation.
The dry run feedrate is used for retraction. Upon completion of retraction,
the RETRACT POSITION LED on the operator’s panel goes on.
During retraction, the screen displays “PTRR” and “STRT”.
- “PTRR” blinks in the field for indicating states such as the program
editing status.
- “STRT” is displayed in the automatic operation status field.
- “MTN” is displayed in the field for indicating status such as
movement along an axis.
