Log file AFC2.DEP

Application

The control stores various pieces of information for each machining step of a teach-in cut in the <name>.H.AFC2.DEP file. The string <name> is identical to the name of the NC program for which you have recorded the teach-in cut. During feedback control, the control updates the data and performs various evaluations.

Requirement

  • Adaptive Feed Contr. (#45 / #2-31-1) software option

Description of function

The AFC2.DEP file provides the following information:

Column

Function

NR

Number of the machining step

TOOL

Number or name of the tool with which the machining step was performed

IDX

Index of the tool with which the machining step was performed

SNOM

Nominal spindle speed [rpm]

SDIFF

Maximum difference of the spindle speed in % of the nominal speed

CTIME

Machining time (tool in effect)

FAVG

Average feed rate (tool in effect)

FMIN

Smallest occurring feed factor. The control shows the value as a percentage of the programmed feed rate

PMAX

Maximum recorded spindle power during machining. The control shows the value as a percentage of the spindle's rated power

PREF

Reference load of the spindle. The control shows the value as a percentage of the spindle's rated power

OVLD

Overload reaction performed by the control:

  • M: A macro defined by the machine manufacturer has been run
  • S: Immediate NC stop was conducted
  • F: NC stop was performed once the tool was no longer in the material
  • E: An error message was displayed
  • L: The current tool was locked
  • -: There was no overload response

BLOCK

Block number at which the machining step begins

 
Tip

During feedback control, the control determines the current machining time as well as the resulting time saving in percent. The control enters the results of the evaluation between the key words total and saved in the last line of the log file. Where the time balance is positive, the percentage value is also positive.

Note

In the settings of the Files operating mode, you can specify whether the control displays dependent files in the file management.
