15.2.2 Feedrate
Feedrate for the 4
th
axis is always defined in inches per minute. When feeding along the
A axis, the system will reference from the centerline of the 4
th
axis. If 20 inches per
minute is defined, the system will look at the distance from the current Z axis (tip of the
tool, so tool offset needs to be set properly) to the centerline of the 4
th
axis, and will
automatically calculate how fast to turn the A axis in order to achieve the desired feedrate
at the tip of the tool.
