Operation at Pierce point
The gap control axis can be stopped at an arbitrary position to pierce a hole while
approaching.
The procedure is explained with using the following example part program.
(1) Specify PRM No.15840#4(LPP) for 1 and specify Pierce point stop signal (NPDS) for 1,
and this operation is effective.
(2) The gap control axis starts to approach at the approach speed (PRM No.15845) when
the block N1 is executed.
(3) When the gap control axis approaches to the surface of work-piece and the pierce point
signal (LPP) is input to CNC at point-b, the axis stops and N1 block ends. And G24 of
the block N2 is executed.
(4) The gap control axis restarts the approach when G13 is commanded again in the block
N3 after completing G24 block.
The gap control axis shifts to the standard gap control and the block N4 is executed
when the approach is completed.
