POINT bit settings (8 bits)

1. bit 0

   Machine operation when machining units are not preceded by an indexing unit

   Select whether or not to generate alarm 1602 SET INDEX UNIT BEFORE MACHINING when the following unit is not preceded by an index unit. [Units] Point machining, line machining, chamfering, face machining, C-axis point machining, C-axis line machining, C-axis chamfering, turning, EIA/ISO subprogram, manual program, MMS, pallet change, workpiece measurement, tool measurement 0: No alarm 1: Alarm

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

2. bit 1

   Execution of an index command after the second or subsequent work coordinate command in WPC unit

   0: Do not execute 1: Execute

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

3. bit 2

   T-code output during indexing before the end unit

   T-code in index unit to be executed before the end unit 0: Output 1: Do not output

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

4. bit 3

   Initial point position in the case where R-point is located outside the clearance around the workpiece at an arbitrary B-axis angle

   Initial point position when the specified R-point is located outside the workpiece clearance area at an arbitrary B-axis angle other than 0, 90 and 180 degrees in the MAZATROL program of the WPC workpiece scheme. 0: Intersection point of the extended lines from the R-point and from the corner of the clearance area around the workpiece 1: Same position as R-point

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

5. bit 4

   Selection of rotational axis command system by table selection

   Selection of rotational axis command system by table selection 0: Table selection invalid 1: Table selection valid Specify the rotational axis in the table selection unit when table selection is valid.

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

6. bit 5

   Alarm output timing when the first machining unit is not preceded by an index unit

   Timing of outputting alarm 1602 SET INDEX UNIT BEFORE MACHINING when bit 0 of parameter D106 is set to 1 0: Output before executing a machining unit 1: Alarm output immediately after the cycle start button is pressed

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

7. bit 6

   X-axis wear offset direction in the Z offset type milling back face [XY] mode

   Set whether the offset direction of the X-axis wear offset/TOOL EYE adjusting amount offset in the Z offset type milling back face [XY] mode follows the setting at parameter F168 bit 3: 0: Follows 1: Does not follow (offset is made in the direction opposite to the direction set at F168 bit 3) * This parameter is valid only for the B-axis rotary type turret.

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate

8. bit 7

   Selection of the C-axis positioning execution for the workpiece measurement in the WPC workpiece or initial-point scheme

   Selection of the C-axis positioning execution after turning, C-axis milling, coordinate measurement or tool measurement for starting the workpiece measurement in the WPC workpiece or initial-point scheme 0: Executes workpiece measurement at the C-axis angle reached after the completion of turning, C-axis milling, coordinate measurement or tool measurement 1: Executes workpiece measurement after C-axis positioning in the head rotating position specified in the indexing unit

   Range 0, 1 · Takes effect: Immediate
