How To: Tool Load Monitoring
Tool Load Monitoring is accessed from the Current Commands screens. MAX% is recorded when the program is executed. LIMIT% is set by the user. SETTING 84 controls the TOOL OVERLOAD ACTION
When the load is exceeded the machine performs one of the following actions:
Alarm
Feedhold
Beep
Autofeed
