Hi,
On machines with Siemens 840D control i often use the function "Travel to fixed stop" (FXS on Siemens) to do tasks like rough measuring without probe, gently pushing workpiece to seat against a fixed stop while the chuck is being unclamped/clamped, and when using the tailstock with lower pressure than the hydraulic quill allows.
I am looking to do the same on machines with Fanuc and Mazak controls, but can't seem to find anything when searching through the manuals. Is this not a common feature for controls other than Siemens?
The function is described like this is the Siemens manuals:
The function of “Travel to fixed stop” can be used to move a motor to a fixed stop at
a specified torque without a fault being signaled. When the stop is reached, the
specified torque is built up and remains applied.
