Description

DistDown

E

The incremental distance from the

 

 

current Z Retract amount to go down

 

 

along the side of the probe stylus when

 

 

doing a diameter pick. The maximum E

 

 

value is 0.55" (13.97 mm) or the tool may

 

 

crash into the probe or table. If you enter

 

 

a value larger than 0.55" (13.97 mm), the

 

 

control issues an error message. If E is

 

 

not set, the cycle uses a default value of

 

 

0.1" (2.54 mm). (Optional) [Default: 0.1"]

 

 

Ball nose cutters and special cutters that

 

 

require a move down more than 0.55"

 

 

(13.97 mm) are not supported.

 

 

NOTE: Z Retract Amount is set in the

 

 

Tool Probe Parameters.

 

 

 

OvrFstFeed

F

This is the override for the fast Z feedrate

 

 

that was set in the machine setup

 

 

parameter ZFirstPickFeedRate_Fast.

 

 

Sometimes there may be a tool that has

 

 

a large diameter making it necessary to

 

 

slow it down to prevent the touch probe

 

 

from being hit too hard. This can only be

 

 

set slower. Trying to set this higher will

 

 

result in the software using the original

 

 

feedrate. (Optional)

 

 

 

OvrMedFeed

M

This is the override for the medium

 

 

feedrate that was set in the machine

 

 

setup parameter

 

 

ZFirstPickFeedRate_Medium. This is

 

 

used for the same reason as the F cycle

 

 

parameter. This can only be set slower.

 

 

Trying to set this higher will result in the

 

 

software using the original feedrate.

 

 

(Optional)
