Your program may be feeding into the control faster than the machine can perform the functions. This is generally caused by high feed rates over a small distance. To resolve this you can either lower the feed rate or change the length of the moves in your CAM or GCD program.
Call your CAM retailer, distributor, or manufacturer. The PT uses a common type of postprocessor based on Fanuc 6. Our control works with defined inputs that are handled by the postprocessor. The CAM side is the more complex side, therefore, the CAM producer is the only company qualified to handle their output.
Press the X, Y, or Z key, then press INC/ABS. This changes each individual axis from INC to ABS (or vice-versa). Now, all three axes should read INC or ABS. Actually, that’s how you got there in the first place.
The largest radius is 825 inches. Values above this number will cause an error when trying to run the program.
RPM = CSS X 4 ÷ diameter of tool or work piece.
IPM = IPR X RPM X number of flutes or inserts.
Open your PT4 program in a text editor like Microsoft Word. Change the event group prompt from 2 to 1 and resave the program. The program will now open in 3 axis mode. The event group prompt is roughly 13 rows from the top of the file. Warning: Z axis prompt will default to zero ñ you must change it.
Yes. Keep in mind that you are not changing the machine's inherent accuracy and repeatability. Run Service Code 70 for 0.0002, code 68 for 0.0005.
No. If your screen is becoming too dim to read, contact the Service Department for a replacement. Have the model and serial number ready.
