Format Cutting Mode TCPC On

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

This command becomes automatically active at the beginning of operations, where the cutting mode is selected as TCPC.

In general, the cutting modes of simultaneous and angled head operations are defined as TCPC.

TCPC (tool center point control) mode functions and their parameters are defined within this command. (like M128, TRAORI, G43.4)

This command is activated by “Event Linear/Rapid Motion” at the beginning of each operation whose cutting mode (Cutting Mode) is selected as TCPC..

IMPORTANT NOTE: If “Positioning Cutting Mode” is selected as “TCPC” for “Format Positioning At Safe Position” command inside “ActionLinearMotion”, this means TCPC mode was activated during safe positioning, and this also means that “Format Cutting Mode TCPC On” will not be active after these positoning moves.

The below image shows where this cutting mode is set for positioning moves inside “ActionLinearMotion”.

However, if the Format Positioning At Safe Position. has not become active (i.e., a small angle change situation has occurred), the Format Cutting Mode TCPC On. command will always be active, regardless of which cutting mode is selected for positioning moves.
