3.4.10 Manual Retract in Normal Direction


In some cases, such as cutting off a program during machining, to retract the tool in the normal direction of the tool, you can use the manual retraction function in the normal direction using the following instructions:


1.

Enter the G168 mode using MDI (Single Line Entry).

2.

Open "Manual" dialog box, press ALT+B and ALT+C to set program coordinate values of B-axis and C-axis to 0.

3.

At this point, the tool can be manually exited in the normal direction (Z+ direction).
