Format Spindle Speed

This command can be added by right-clicking on the “Tool/Spindle/Coolant/Synchronization” heading inside “Commands” tab.

This command is used to set the spindle speed value and also used to start spindle speed rotation .

This command is activated by SPINDL/RPM,6000,CLW or similar statements in the APT/CL file. Here 6000 is the assigned spindle revolution.

The term SFM (Surface Feet Per Minute) or SMM (Surface Meter Per Minute) can also be used instead of RPM (Revolution Per Minute).

CLW (Clockwise) can also be replaced by CCLW (Counter Clockwise).

The statement SPINDL/RPM,6000,CLW in the APT/CL file drives the “Event Spindle Speed”. This event includes “ActionSpindle” as standard. “ActionSpindle” runs the “Format Spindle Speed” command.

The spindle speed in the SPINDL/RPM,6000,CLW statement is automatically assigned to Spindle.Speed variable in MANUSpost developer.

The spindle state (CLW, CCLW) in the SPINDL/RPM,6000,CLW statement is automatically assigned to “Spindle.State” variable in MANUSpost developer.

The spindle speed mode (RPC,SFM,SMM) in the SPINDL/RPM,6000,CLW statement is automatically assigned to Spindle.SpeedMode variable in MANUSpost developer.
