Spindle control

CNC 8070

The spindle may be controlled manually using the following keys of the operator panel. The keys always refer to the master spindle of the active channel.

Spindle speed override.

It may be used to vary the spindle turning speed, a typical value being a variation between 50% and 120%. Every time one of these keys is pressed, the speed varies 5%.

These values may be different depending on how the machine manufacturer has defined them.

Spindle orientation. Same as function M19.

It orients the spindle.

Displays function M19 in the history of the current machining conditions.

Customizing the keys

The machine manufacturer sets the minimum and maximum percentages between which the speed may be varied as well as the percentage of variation every time one of these keys is pressed.

They are set using the following machine parameters.

MINOVR

MAXOVR

Maximum override.

STEPOVR
