21.4.5 Restrictions
21.4.5.1 Restrictions common to machine configurations
- Interference check
In the mode for cutter compensation for 5-axis machining,
interference checks are made using a specified position in the
workpiece coordinate system and a compensation vector. The
interference check avoidance function cannot be used.
- Corner rounding (G39)
In the mode for cutter compensation for 5-axis machining, G39 cannot
be specified. Specifying G39 causes an alarm.
- Reset
Whenever a reset is made in the mode for cutter compensation for
5-axis machining (G41.2, G42.2, G41.4, G42.4, G41.5, or G42.5), the
cancel mode (G40) is entered.
- AI contour control I and II
To set the AI contour control I or II mode, the corresponding G code
must be specified. Specifying cutter compensation for 5-axis
machining does not automatically place the CNC in the AI contour
control I or II mode.
- Restricted commands
In the mode for cutter compensation for 5-axis machining, the
following functions are available, but their statuses cannot be
changed:
• Inch/metric input (If an attempt is made to change the status by
using G20 or G21, alarm PS5000 is issued.)
• Mirror image (The signal status cannot be changed.)
• One-digit F code feed (The feedrate cannot be changed by using
the manual handle.)
