Standard Word: AxisChangeApproachDistance

Variable: AxisChange.ApproachDistance

Type: Double

The variable “AxisChange.ApproachDistance” is a variable used when “Axis Change” mode is automatically activated in MANUSpost, or in other words it is used to automatically position the rotary axis in alternative position, when the rotary axis limit occurs. “Axis Change” is a special mode of MANUSpost and MANUSpost automatically determines when to activate “Axis Change” mode.To learn more about “Axis Change” mode, read “Format Motion Axis Change” command explanation.In “Axis Change” mode, after returning to the alternative position, the cutting tool approaches the starting point in the tool axis by the amount defined in this variable.In MANUSpost developer, a configuration variable is created from this variable. Configuration variables are variables whose values can be entered by the end users. After this value defined by the end user, this variable is used during alternative rotary axis positioning in “Axis Change” mode.IMPORTANT NOTE: This variable must be set, especially if there is at least one rotary axis on the head.IMPORTANT NOTE2: This variable is defined as a configuration variable to provide flexibility to the end user. If the end user does not want to enter this value manually in the configuration variable, its value must be set in an “ActionScript” to be defined in the Event Program Start..
