Inversion of spindle rotation direction for spindle M-functions M3/M4 (P-AXIS-00490)

P-AXIS-00490

Inversion of spindle rotation direction for spindle M-functions M3/M4

Description

The parameter inverts the direction of rotation of various spindle functions.

For example, this may be helpful if a spindle is also used as C axis and if the spindle orientation does not correspond to the C axis orientation.

The spindle function to be inverted is defined as a string constant or a hexadecimal value

Parameter

kenngr.inverse_rotation_direction

Data type

STRING

Data range

Constant

Value

Meaning

FALSE

0x0000

No rotation direction inversion

MOVE_CMD

0x0001

In the case of a spindle, the rotation direction is inverted with M functions M03/M04. The direction of spindle rotation is therefore reversed for M03 and M04 (M03 anti-clockwise, M04 clockwise).

TAPPING

0x0002

The inversion is also active for spindle positioning M19 with explicitly programmed rotation direction.

Remarks

Change in the data type of the parameter as of CNC Build V2.11.2836 (from BOOLEAN to STRING). Downward compatibility is ensured.
