The Axis restrictions tab on the Dynamic machine control mode dialog enables you to enter the increment values of your actual machine tool's axes, so the axes of the virtual machine tool move accurately.
This tab contains the following:
- Tool name — The name of the tool.
- Restrict axis — Select to restrict the movement of the axis by the specified increment value.
- Increment value — Specify the increment value.
Note: If you adjust an axis without an increment restriction, it is possible that the axis position may not be achievable by your actual machine tool. If the current axis value is 83.34, for example, and you restrict the axis with an increment value of 1, when you adjust the axis, the axis value is rounded down to 83 and increases 83 – 84 – 85 and not 83.34 – 84.34 – 85.34.
