Parameters P01, P02 define the Max. travels in Z axie positive, negative directions separately. If the Z axis
coordinate isnot less then that defined by the parameter P01 (positive limit), the slider cant move along positive
direction, but it can move along negative direction. If the Z axis coordinate isnot bigger then that defined by the
parameter P02 (negative limit), the slider cant move along the negative direction, but it can move along the
positive direction. Unit: mm

4.6.1.2 Parameter P03, P04X axis positive, negative overtravel limit

Parameters P03, P04 define the Max. travels in X axis positive, negative directions separately. If the X axis
coordinate isnot less then that defined by the parameter P03 (positive limit), the slider cant move along positive
direction, but it can move along negative direction. If the X axis coordinate isnot bigger then that defined by the
parameter P04 (negative limit), the slider cant move along the negative direction, but it can move along the

GSK928TC Turning CNC System

Parameter P06 defines the X axis fast move speed in manual move and in G00. The actual fast move speed in
X axis is restricted by the fast move speed multiple, too. X axis actual fast move speed=P06* fast move speed
multiple. Unit: mm/min

4.6.1.5 Parameters P07 P08Compensations of the reverse clearances in Z, X axie

Parameters P07, P08 define the compensations the mechanical reverse clearance in Z, X axis separately. Unit :
mm
There have clearances in the thread, the reducer, and the other transmissions of the machine, so the errors
must happen in the reciprocating movement. After set the parameters P07, P08, this system can compensate the
errors when the movement changes the direction.
Measurement of the mechanical reverse clearances: (Example for Z axis):
1. Select the JOG mode and the proper feed speed.
2. Assembly the dial indicator on the proper position on the machine, Move the tool to touch the probe of the
dial indicator and adjust the finger of the dial indicator at zero.
3. Select the JOG Single feed mode with the step 1.0mm.
4. Push the button

or

to move the toolpost to the dial indicator, let the finger of the dial indicator

run one circuit and point to the zero again.

5. Push the button
or
to move the toolpost away from the dial indicator for the same distance,
let the finger of the dial indicator run back, but it cant return to the 0 for the clearance. Then the distance from
reading to the zero is the Z axis reverse clearance.
Note 1: Repeat above approaches some times to obtain the exact value.
Note 2: Measurement of the X axis reverse clearance is same as above approaches. But the observed result must time 2
to change into the diameter value.
Note 3: Compensate the reverse clearances in X, Z axis with the start speed (defined by P17, P18) .

1. GSK928TC sends out the signal to the machine.

2. Except for the SVC signal, the other signals are driven by transistor ULN2803. The max. load
current is 200mA. When the signal is valid, the transistor puts through. The public terminal
voltage is +24V.
3. When there has the inductance load such as the relay on the machine, the spark controller
must be adopted, and it should be closes to the load (within 20cm). When there has the
capacitance load on the machine, the current limiting resistor must be connected in series.
4. Signal definition:
When the spindle motor has many kinds of speed, the S01 S02 S03 S04 bits are adopted.
By coding the S01 S02 S03 S04 bits, it can control the motor with the most 16 kinds of speed.

Remarks: When return to the mechanical point, the

slider moves positively, the T1 part of the block
presses the proximity switch, then the slider speeds
down. The width of the Ti part must be enough to
finish speeddown (not short then 25mm). Test the
mechanical point when it is in T2 part (the slider
moves with the appointed lowest speed). The T2
width must bigger then the testing diameter of the
proximity switch. Finish returning to the mechanical
point when it is in T3 part (the front side of T3 in
effect). The proximity switch is the normal open of
NPN, it puts through at T1, T3 parts. Otherwise, it
cuts off. Define if the returning to the mechanical
point is valid by the bit MZRO of the parameter P12.
