Feedrate <FEDRAT>


<FEDRAT> defines the value and the type of tool feed. The feed value is stored until the next <FEDRAT> command or <RAPID> command.

SprutCAM uses <FEDRAT> to pass the machining condition code.

Command:

FEDRAT NM nm, K k, MMPM(315) | MMPR(316)

Parameters:


Parameter

CLD array

Description

nm

CLD[1]

CLD.NM

Feed value.

k

CLD[2]

CLD.K

Feed type (work feed, approach feed, retract feed, transition feed, cut-in feed, etc.).

  • 0 - working,

  • 2 - first pass feed,

  • 4 - engage feed,

  • 8 - retract feed,

  • 16 - plunge feed,

  • 32 - finish pass feed

  • 64 - transition to the next pass,

  • 128 - return feed,

  • 256 - approach feed.

For EDM operation SprutCAM uses this parameter to pass machining condition code.

MMPM(315)

MMPR(316)

CLD[3]

CLD.MMPM

Feedrate units:

MMPM(315) – mm per minute,

MMPR(316) – mm per revolution
