Hello
I worked for a long time on a DMG milling machines with Fanuc controller. Now we have a new machine with Siemens 840D ShopMill. So far its going quite well– the only thing that annoys me is that the rapid traverse cannot be limited with the override...

Is it possible to program the function of the spindle-override onto the rapid traverse via a parameter change?

We have a lot of small series so therefore also a lot of adjustment work to do and that feature would be very helpful.

Hello

I don’t know ShopMill but with ShopTurn you can generally limit the rapid traverse in the program like this:

-select upper program row
-press yellow Input key
-write OVRRAP=30 (the 30 can be adjusted depending on the desired rapid traverse speed)
-press blue key “arrow up”
Done.
After the successful setup you can simply delete the row...

Good luck
Jürgen

In general it’s common to influence the feed with the feed override. The turning speed override is responsible for the spindle turning speed.
