Also specify other feedrates in 10 degrees/min units.
D Commands from the NC program
When the machine is not performing polygonal turning, the machining
program can issue move commands to the polygon axis.
Such commands can be issued in the same way as for ordinary axes.
However, be careful about the angle to rotate through and feedrate.
Assuming the polygon axis is the Y–axis, the polygon axis rotates
through 0.03 degrees by the following command:
V3;
Likewise, the polygon axis rotates through 10.00 degrees by the
following command:
V1.0;
The feedrate unit is also increased by tenfold.
The current position of the polygon in the machine coordinate system
is normalized according to the value specified by parameter No. 7620.
Typical values range from 0.000 to 35.999.
[Classification] Output signal
[Function] Informs the PMC that the machine is in the polygon turning mode.
[Output condition] The polygon synchronization signal is set to logical “1” by the polygon
turning mode command (G51.2) and stays at “1” during the polygonal
turning mode.
The signal is reset to logical “0” by the polygon turning mode reset
command (G50.2) or a reset. It stays at logical “0” when the machine is
not in the polygonal turning mode.
· Other signals (related to the tool rotation axis)
→ Some signals related to the CNC controlled axis used as the tool
rotation axis may be made ineffective depending on whether the
machine is in the polygonal turning mode.
For these signals, read the note in operator’s manual (for lathe).
