CAUTION
Whether diameter programming or radius
programming is used for the Z-axis determines the
programming system.
L, L1, L2, D, D1, D2, D3 :
Define the figure of a tail stock. The valid data range is
indicated in Table 2.1.7(c).
CAUTION
Always specify D, D1, D2, and D3 in diameter
programming. When radius programming is used
for the Z-axis, specify L, L1, and L2 in radius.
- Setting the entry-inhibition area for the tail stock tip
The tip angle of the tail stock is 60 degrees. The entry-inhibition
area is set around the tip, assuming the angle to be 90 degrees, as
shown below.

Limitation
- Correct setting of an entry-inhibition area
If an entry-inhibition area is incorrectly set, it may not be possible to
make the area effective. Avoid making the following settings:
• L ≤ L1 or W ≤ W1 in the chuck-shape settings.
• D2 ≤ D3 in the tail stock-shape settings.
• A chuck setting overlapping that of the tail stock.
- Retraction from the entry-inhibition area
If the tool enters the entry-inhibition area and an alarm is issued,
switch to manual mode, retract the tool manually, then reset the
system to release the alarm. In manual mode, the tool can be moved
only in the opposite direction to that in which the tool entered the
area.
The tool cannot be moved in the same direction (further into the area)
as it was travelling when the tool entered the area.
When the entry-inhibition areas for the chuck and tail stock are
enabled, and the tool is already positioned within those areas, an alarm
is issued when the tool moves.
When the tool cannot be retracted, change the setting of the
entry-inhibition areas, such that the tool is outside the areas, reset the
system to release the alarm, then retract the tool. Finally, reinstall
the original settings.
