SOFT RTCP
Dynamic RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point).
The dynamic RTCP option is required for interpolation
machining with 4, 5 or 6 axis.
SOFT C AXIS
C axis.
It activates the kinematics for working with the C axis and
the associated canned cycles. The CNC can control
several C axes. The parameters of each axis indicate if it
will function as a C axis or not, where it will not be
necessary to activate another axis for the machine
parameters.
SOFT TANDEM AXES
Tandem axes.
A tandem axis consists in two motors mechanically
coupled (slaved) and making up a single transmission
system (axis or spindle). A tandem axis helps provide the
necessary torque to move an axis when a single motor is
not capable of supplying enough torque to do it.
Whenactivatingthisfeature, itshouldbe keptinmind that
foreachtandemaxisofthemachine,anotheraxismustbe
addedto theentireconfiguration. Forexample, ona large
3-axis lathe (X Z and tailstock), if the tailstock is a tandem
axis, the final purchase order for the machine must
indicate 4 axes.
SOFT SYNCHRONISM
Synchronization of axes and spindles.
The axes and ballscrews may be synchronized in two
ways: in terms of speed or position. The CNC
configurationtakesintoconsiderationthesynchronization
of 2 axes or 2 spindles. Once synchronized, only the
master displays and programs the element.
SOFT HSSA II MACHINING SYSTEM
HSSA-II machining system.
This is the new version of algorithms for high speed
machining (HSC). This new HSSA algorithm allows for
high speed machining optimization, where higher cutting
speeds,smoothercontours,a bettersurfacefinishingand
greater precision are achieved.
SOFT TANGENTIAL CONTROL
Tangential control.
"Tangential Control" maintains a rotary axis always in the
same orientation with respect to the programmed tool
path. The machining path is defined on the axes of the
active plane and the CNC maintains the orientation of the
rotary axis along the entire tool path.
SOFT DRILL CYCL OL
Drilling ISO cycles for the OL model.
Drilling ISO cycles for the OL model (G80, G81, G82,
G83).
SOFT PROBE
Probing canned cycles.
The CNC may have two probes; usually a tabletop probe
to calibrate tools and a measuring probe to measure the
part.
Thisoption activatesthefunctionsG100, G103andG104
(for probe movements); probe canned cycles are not
included.
SOFT THIRD PARTY CANOPEN
Third-party CANopen.
Enables the use of non-Fagor CANopen modules.
SOFT FVC UP TO 10m3
SOFT FVC MORE TO 10m3
Medium and large volumetric compensation.
5-axis machines are generally used during the
manufacturing of large parts. The accuracy of the parts is
limited by the machine manufacturing tolerances and is
effected by temperature variations during machining.
In sectors such as the aerospace industry, machining
demands mean that classic compensation tools are
becoming suboptimal. Volumetric compensation FVC
comes in to complement the machine adjusting tools.
When mapping the total work volume of the machine, the
CNCknows theexactpositionof thetoolat alltimes.After
applying the required compensation, the resulting part is
made with the desired precision and tolerance.
There are 2 choices, which depend on the size of the
machine, being up to 10 m³ and over 10 m³.
SOFT 60 PWM CONTROL
Pulse-Width Modulation.
This function is only available for Sercos bus controlled
systems. It is mostly oriented toward laser machines for
thecuttingof verythicksheets,where theCNCgenerates
a series of PWM pulses to control the power of the laser
when drilling the starting point.
This feature is essential for cutting very thick sheets and
it requires two quick digital outputs located on the central
unit. With this new feature, the OEM does not need to
install or program any external device, which reduces
machine costs and installation times. The end user also
benefits, since the “Cutting with PWM ” feature is much
easier to use and program.
SOFT 60 GAP CONTROL
Gap control.
This is mostly oriented toward laser machines. Gap
control makes it possible to maintain a set distance
betweenthelasernozzleandthesurfaceofthesheet.This
distance is calculated by a sensor connected to the CNC,
so that the CNC offsets the sensor variations on the
distance programmed with additional movements in the
axis programmed for the gap.
