Machine modes set certain default v

Machine modes set certain default values in case they are not set in ESPRIT. Machine modes also give important machine requirements that are not found within any of the technology pages in ESPRIT. For example, CircleMode specifies how much of a circle the NC machine can cut in one block of NC code.Machine Modes serve two purposes:To set certain default machine values in case they are not set in the ESPRIT program To give important machine requirements that are not found within any of the technology in ESPRIT The structure used in the ""Machine Modes"" section is:KEYWORD : VALUEBelow is an example of typical machine modes:************ MACHINE MODES *****************CoordinateMode : AbsoluteMeasurementMode : MetricCircleMode : By360CenterMode : IncrementFromStartWorkPlaneMode : XYPlaneFor example, the default for MeasurementMode can be Inch or Metric. CoordinateMode can be Incremental but is almost always set to Absolute. If these values have already been programmed in ESPRIT, these two machine modes are ignored.To specify the capabilities of the machine, CircleMode specifies how much of a circle the NC machine can cut in one block of NC code. If the machine can cut a 360-degree arc in one block of code, then By360 can be set for CircleMode. If the machine can cut up to 90 degrees in one block and must break down circles larger than 90, then use ByQuadrant.« Introduction to the Post ProcessorPrevious topic: System VariablesNext topic: Formatable Codes"
