Reversal of rotation direction without spindle standstill (P-TOOL-00019)

P-TOOL-00019

Reversal of rotation direction without spindle standstill

Description

When changing a tool with a tool gear which changes the direction of rotation (see P-TOOL-00018), the spindle must be at standstill, otherwise the CNC generates the error message P-ERR-60290.

If this parameter is assigned the value TRUE, a change in tool rotation direction is only evaluated when a programmed change in spindle direction takes place (M03/M04 or M04/M03). In this case, the spindle does not stop. Example: This is practical for a machine with several tools rotating at the same time.
