Format Goto Safe Position

This command can be added by right-clicking on the Linear Motion. heading inside “Commands” tab.

When rotary axis change amount is greater than the defined limit, “Safe Home Return” mode becomes active in MANUSpost and this command will be activated in this mode.

How “Safe Home Return” movement(s) will be printed in the NC program is defined inside this command.

If “Safe Home Return” is active in MANUSpost (ie, rotary axis angle change is greater than the limit), MANUSpost runs the Format Goto Safe Position. command first, and then runs the Format Positioning At Safe Position. command.

When this mode is active, “Format Motion Linear” and “Format Motion Rapid” commands are not activated for this linear motion.

Like Format Motion Linear. and Format Motion Rapid., these commands are activated by “Event Linear/Rapid Motion:ref:` and <Command.Type>`.ActionLinearMotion” in it.

When “Safe Home Return” mode will be active is automatically determined according to the limit values defined in the “Edit” screen of Action Linear Motion..

In this “Edit” screen, 4 different limit values in total are defined.

2 limits for “Rotary Axis 1”, and 2 limits for “Rotary Axis 2”.

The first limit will be used at the beginning of the operations, and the second limit will be used at the mid of the operations.

These limiting parameters are:

1- “Limit Rotary 1 Value For Auto Positioning At Operation Start” parameter.

2- “Limit Rotary 2 Value For Auto Positioning At Operation Start” parameter.

3- “Limit Rotary 1 Value For Auto Positioning At Mid Of Operation” parameter.

4- “Limit Rotary 2 Value For Auto Positioning At Mid Of Operation” parameter.

If the rotary axes changes between two successive movements is less than these values, small angle change situation occurs and “Format Positioning For Small Angle Change” command becomes active.

If the amount of rotation for any of the rotary axes is greater than these values, the small angle change command will not be active. Instead, first “Format Goto Safe Position” and then “Format Positioning At Safe Position” become active.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If there is a tool change at the beginning of the operation, even if a large angle change has occurred, Format Goto Safe Position. will not be active at the beginning of the operation, only Format Positioning At Safe Position. will be active. Because MANUSpost accepts that the tool has reached the safe point during the tool change.
