Gear change (G112)

G112 Gear change (non-modal)

With the Function G112 it is possible to change the gear stages for individual path axes. G112 is also available for spindle axes, but here some special characteristics, described in chapter 14.2.7 must take into consideration.

Regarding axes, which do not possess a real gear, this functionality can be used for actuating various axis parameters. Thus, for instance, for heavy machining, the controller intensification and the following-error monitoring can be matched to one another by a separate parameter set and can be called in the NC-program with the "gear number".

Notice
G112 may not be programmed with a path preparation function in the same NC-block.

Programming example

Nnn G112 X4 Y8    (Gear stage for X-axis: 4, Gear stage for  Y-axis: 8)
