¶ 1.2.1 General
Figure 1.2.1: General tab within the manual page
The General control tab provides buttons for executing common machine functions, which will be described in detail in the following chapters.
¶ 1.2.1.1 Home All
The HOME ALL function moves all machine axes to their reference (home) positions.
- For machines equipped with motors featuring absolute encoders (which is the case for most AitalMAC machines), the home position is provisional.
- The provisional home position will be overwritten by the absolute encoder position when the Machine On button is pressed.
¶ 1.2.1.2 Unhome All
Clears the homed status of all machine axes.
¶ 1.2.1.3 Change Tool
Opens the tool list window, allowing the user to select and switch the active tool. This window can be used to set either the main or secondary tool, depending on the button used to access it. When accessed through "Change Tool," the selected tool is set as the main active tool. Note that the secondary tool option is only available on 5-axis saws.
Figure 1.2.1.3: Tool change window
¶ 1.2.1.3.1 Tool List
A panel of tools stored in memory that the machine uses to operate.
¶ 1.2.1.3.2 Remove Tool
This button initiates a tool change operation to unload the currently used tool. On AitalMAC base model saws without automatic or manual tool change stations, the tool will simply be removed from memory. For machines with tool stations or positions, the automatic tool change routine will unload the current tool.
¶ 1.2.1.3.3 Exit
Closes the tool selection panel.
¶ 1.2.1.3.4 Choose Tool
This button activates the selected tool from the tool list for use on the machine. The tool list window can be accessed in two ways:
-
Selecting the main tool: Use Change Tool to open the tool list window and select the main active tool. On AitalMAC base model saws, the tool is loaded into memory. On machines with tool stations, the selected tool is automatically loaded or exchanged.
-
Selecting the secondary tool: Use Choose Second Tool (specific to 5-axis saws) to open the tool list window. The selected tool is set as the secondary tool, stored in memory, and displayed at the bottom of the application, separated from the main tool by a pipe symbol (|).
The designation of a tool as main or secondary depends entirely on how the tool list window is accessed.
¶ 1.2.1.4 Parking
This button moves the machine to a designated parking position as defined in the parameters. Parking is not always safe, particularly when the machine is engaged with the material, such as during a 45-degree miter cut. Always ensure the machine is in a safe state before initiating the parking operation.
¶ 1.2.1.5 Touch-off
Moves the machine origin reference point to the current tool position, effectively redefining the machine’s working coordinates.
If this action is performed by mistake and then confirmed, a blue line will appear in the 3D area to indicate the offset. It is advised to clear any accidentally applied touch-offs to prevent potential errors or unexpected behaviors.
¶ 1.2.1.6 Clean Touch Off
Clears and resets the current touch-off reference point.
¶ 1.2.1.7 Edit Tool
Opens a dialog to modify currently loaded main tool parameters.
Figure 1.2.1.7: Edit tool window
Introduction to Tool Management
The tool management system in the AitalMAC application is inherited from AitekCAM, a CNC Stone Machining Center application initially developed for routing operations and later extended to include blade functionality. To maintain compatibility, AitalMAC still allows tools to be synced with AitekCAM. However, the way tool parameters are used differs significantly between the two systems. Additionally, programs post-processed by Pegasus CAD/CAM do not utilize the tool parameters defined within the AitalMAC application, as Pegasus relies on its own set of parameters for program execution.
In AitekCAM, parameters like tool types play a central role in defining the behavior of programs created within the CAM environment. These parameters influence the operation paths, machining logic, and other critical aspects of toolpath generation. In contrast, AitalMAC uses tool types primarily to manage conflicts between tools and operations. For example, in AitalMAC, users can only access the X-Y Cut page—designed specifically for blade tools—if the main loaded tool is of the blade type. In this context, tool types help ensure logical compatibility between operations and tool assignments rather than defining program behavior.
It is important to recognize that many of these parameters are influenced by the history of development. As a result, some parameters may appear unnecessary or out of place unless this historical context is considered. For instance, parameters like speeds and feeds are heavily utilized in AitalMAC, while others, such as safe position, are included solely for compatibility with AitekCAM, where they are still actively used. Understanding this distinction can help users better navigate and make sense of the tool management system in AitalMAC.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1 Basic
Figure 1.2.1.7.1: Basic parameters tab of the edit tool window
The Basic tab contains the essential parameters required to define a valid tool. These include the tool's name, type, number, position in the tool change sequence, diameter, and axis offsets.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.1 Name
The Name field specifies the unique identifier for the tool. It serves as a label to easily recognize and distinguish the tool. The name should be descriptive enough to provide clarity about the tool's purpose or type (e.g., "Finber Bit 20mm" or "Saw Blade Marble 450mm"). Proper naming conventions ensure smooth operation, especially when managing multiple tools.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.2 Tool Number (T)
The Tool Number (T) is a unique identifier used by the machine's logic to manage and reference tools during operations. The program ensures this number is unique. If a duplicate tool number is entered, an error will occur, and the program will automatically compile and assign the next viable unique number before saving the tool. This prevents conflicts and ensures accurate tool handling in the machining process.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.3 Type
This field allows you to select the type of tool being used in the operation from a dropdown list. Available options include tools such as a drill, blade, finger bit, and others. The selected tool type is validated to ensure compatibility with the operation being performed. For instance, a probing operation requiring a finger bit will check that the second loaded tool is not a blade, as using an incorrect tool could lead to unexpected behaviors or errors.
If the wrong tool type is detected, the machine will stop and display an error message. This system safeguards against potential issues, maintaining safety and operational precision. Maintaining consistency between AitalMAC and Pegasus applications by matching tool types is strongly recommended, as future updates to AitalMAC may introduce similar restrictions, such as specific tool requirements for functions like drilling holes.
Tool Types in the Dropdown List:
- Profiling: Tools used by CNC Machining Centers to shape the edges of the stone. This type is included for AitekCAM compatibility purposes.
- Drill: Commonly used for creating cylindrical holes in materials. Drills are allowed as secondary tools in the AitalMAC application and can also be used in Pegasus to program drilling hole strategies, particularly for finishing concave corners that cannot be reached by a blade. It is recommended to maintain consistency by explicitly setting drills as such in both AitalMAC and Pegasus applications.
- Water Slot: Also known as calibration wheels, these tools are included for AitekCAM compatibility purposes. Operators will often set tools of this type due to their distinct appearance compared to a finger bit. While there are no strict limitations within the AitalMAC application, consistency with AitekCAM ensures smooth operation.
- Tap: Deprecated and maintained for legacy machines only, slated to be removed.
- Blade: Ensures compatibility for cutting tasks that require tools classified as "blade" type. The AitalMAC application enforces strict limitations, allowing only tools of this type to perform certain operations to ensure precision and safety. Properly selecting the tool type aligns the application’s operations with the intended tool usage, minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency. Although Pegasus and AitalMAC applications operate independently without strict integration, maintaining consistency in tool type settings across both systems is highly recommended. This practice simplifies workflows and ensures readiness for future updates and improvements to both applications.
- Finger Bit: Commonly used for CNC Machining Centers to cut sinks out, this tool type is also included for compatibility with AitekCAM rather than serving any specific function within the AitalMAC application. It is not recommended as the secondary tool for bridge saws, as the hollow finger bit tool type is better suited for such tasks, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance.
- Groove Bit: Maintained solely for compatibility with AitekCAM, as even the slope program within AitalMAC does not require this type of tool.
- Hollow Finger Bit: This is the correct type for the secondary tool for AitalMAC saw machines. Choose this type rather than the Finger Bit, as it is better suited for the type of processing performed by Pegasus, which runs steps in a spiral fashion.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.4 Position
This setting specifies the position of the tool within the machine's magazine. On machines equipped with an automatic tool change function, the available positions are typically numbered, such as 1 to 27. These numbered positions correspond to the pockets in the magazine.
- Position 0: Reserved for manual tool changes. When a tool is assigned to Position 0, the machine will move to the manual tool change position and await user confirmation after the tool change is completed. This behavior is consistent regardless of whether the current and requested tool are both assigned to Position 0.
- Positions 1 to 27: These positions are used for automatic tool changes. If two tools are assigned to the same position, the tool change sequence is skipped because it is interpreted as stacked tools. This allows seamless transitions without requiring additional tool change operations.
- Positions 28 and Higher: These positions are also reserved for manual tool changes. However, unlike Position 0, if two tools share the same position number, the tool change sequence is skipped as it is interpreted as stacked tools.
It is important to note that Position 0 has unique behavior: the machine always moves to the manual tool change position and waits for user confirmation, even if the current and requested tool are both in Position 0. For positions beyond the magazine's automatic range (e.g., 28 and higher), the tool change sequence behaves similarly to stacked tools, skipping the sequence when tools share the same position number.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.5 CNC Diameter
The CNC diameter is a view-only field showing the calculated diameter used for tool radius compensation (e.g., G41-G42), commonly applied when running tools along the edge of the material on CNC machining centers. It is derived as:
CNC Diameter = Diameter + (Removal × 2)
The Removal value, specified in the Extend tab, adds an offset to the tool radius to leave surplus material for subsequent tools in a multi-step grinding process. Each tool in the sequence progressively removes material, refining the surface left by the previous tool. Only the final tool, with no "Removal" offset, grinds the material to the programmed finished size using its actual measured diameter.
When probing the tool diameter on CNC machining centers, the machine will adjust both CNC and base diameters while keeping the Removal constant.
It is important to note that on 5-axis bridge saw machines, which predominantly use blade saw tools operating vertically and approaching the material from the top, removal offsets are not applied to depth. Removal compensation (via G41-G42) works exclusively on the XY plane, where the spindle approaches horizontally, as is typical for CNC machining centers. For 5-axis bridge saws, removal compensation is not applicable to either edge or depth, as the nature of the cutting process differs significantly from CNC machining centers.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.6 Diameter
This is the actual, physical diameter of the tool as measured and entered by the operator when installing a new tool. The base diameter serves as the foundation for calculating the CNC diameter and represents the real dimensions of the tool itself. It ensures accurate toolpath calculations and material removal during machining processes.
For blade-type tools, the diameter can be probed by the machine. After a successful probing sequence, the measured diameter is automatically updated in the system, ensuring precise cutting operations and alignment.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.7 Zoffset
This offset is applied along the Z axis using G43 and removed with G49, subtracting the tool’s offset from the current axis position. In most CNC machining centers with vertical spindles, tool length compensation occurs on the Z axis. However, on AitalMAC 5-axis bridge saws (and similar 5-axis machines), the tool length is compensated on the W axis, which runs parallel to the spindle’s axis.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.8 Aoffset.
This offset applies to the A axis, which is typically not used on most AitalMAC machines. Keep it set to 0.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.9 Boffset
This offset is associated with the B axis. On 5-axis bridge saws, where the B axis exists physically, Boffset is typically left at 0. However, on AitalMAC's CNC machining centers—which do not actually have a B axis—Boffset is repurposed for tool diameter probing.
During diameter probing, the offset designated as Boffset is temporarily applied on the Z axis to position the tool at the correct “probing height.” This probing height differs from the normal “working height,” which is managed by Zoffset. Therefore, Boffset does not serve as a tool-length offset during regular cutting operations; it is used solely to set the correct probing position for diameter measurement on machines without a physical B axis.
¶ 1.2.1.7.1.10 Woffset
Woffset is an offset applied along the W axis, which aligns with the main spindle axis where tools are mounted and acts as the tool length. This offset ensures accurate tool positioning on 5-axis machines by compensating for differences in tool geometry and mounting relative to the machine's pivot point.
For blade-type tools, the flange serves as the reference point for Woffset calculations. The flange provides a fixed and consistent mounting position, making it critical for precise alignment and operation.
Woffset is also applicable to all other tool types, including those not directly attached to the flange. In these cases, Woffset is calculated based on a theoretical flange position to maintain consistent functionality.
Pegasus software calculates Woffset for blade tools using the segment thickness and core thickness of the blade:
Woffset = (Segment Thickness - Core Thickness) / 2 + Core Thickness
This calculation assumes the blade is symmetrical. Operators must be aware that Pegasus sets Woffset automatically using this formula. For asymmetrical blades, operators must adjust parameters as though the blade were symmetrical to ensure proper machine operation.
Managing Woffset in Systems
- Without Tool Change Capability: On 5-axis machines without tool change support for CNC profiling tools, Pegasus software automatically manages Woffset, simplifying setup and ensuring precise cutting without manual intervention.
- With Tool Change Capability: On machines with tool change features, Woffset is managed within the AitalMAC application as the tool length offset. This applies to blades and other profiling tools, requiring operators to accurately set and maintain Woffset for reliable performance during tool changes.
Key Considerations
- Accurate Measurements: Measure segment and core thickness precisely.
- Symmetry Adjustment: Adjust parameters for asymmetrical blades, as Pegasus assumes symmetry.
- Software Integration: Identify whether Pegasus or AitalMAC handles Woffset in your workflow.
- Tool Consistency: Update Woffset settings for each tool type.
- Regular Calibration: Periodically verify Woffset settings to ensure accuracy.
Proper management of Woffset is essential for achieving high-quality and consistent cutting performance on 5-axis machines.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2 Extend
Figure 1.2.1.7.2: Extend parameters tab of the edit tool window
The Extend tab provides additional parameters for advanced tool setup and operation. While some of these parameters are optional, others—such as thickness, speed and feed settings—are essential for ensuring proper tool functionality.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.1 Removal
The "Removal" is a crucial parameter that defines the additional offset added to the tool radius during CNC operations. This value is entered in the Extend tab and directly influences the calculation of the CNC diameter:
CNC Diameter = Diameter + (Removal × 2)
The primary purpose of the Removal is to leave surplus material for subsequent tools in a multi-step grinding process. Each tool in the sequence removes a layer of material, refining the surface left by the previous tool. This ensures that every tool can perform its task effectively, leading to a smooth and precise finish.
On CNC machining centers, removal is compensated by G41 and G42, which operate in the XY plane with the spindle vertical. This allows accurate edge compensation during machining. However, on 5-axis bridge saw machines, where blade tools approach the material from the top, removal does not influence depth adjustments.
Only the final tool in a grinding tool set operates without a Removal offset, using its exact diameter to achieve the programmed finished size. Proper configuration of the Removal parameter is essential for achieving precise machining results and maintaining consistent surface quality.
Availability: Removal is exclusively enabled for Profiling, Finger Bit, and Water Slot tool types. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out).
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.2 Waste
This parameter is specific to tools used in CNC machining centers and exists solely for AitekCAM compatibility purposes. "Waste" is used by AitekCAM to generate programs that compensate for tool wear by adjusting the tool diameter between toolpath executions. This ensures that wear is accounted for before each new cycle.
In contrast, "Dynamic Wear" operates incrementally during the execution of a toolpath while the tool is in contact with the stone, allowing for more precise and adaptive compensation. While "Waste" is still present for legacy support, it has been largely replaced by "Dynamic Wear" in modern workflows.
Availability: Waste is exclusively enabled for Profiling, Finger Bit, and Water Slot tool types. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out).
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.3 Drilling Step
This parameter is maintained for AitekCAM legacy compatibility and specifies the peck drilling depth used in generating peck drilling programs with drill tools.
Availability: Drilling Step is exclusively enabled for drill-type tools. For all other tool types, this parameter remains inactive (greyed out), as it is not applicable to them.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.4 Safe Position
This parameter is included solely for compatibility with AitekCAM and does not directly operate within the AitalMAC application. It defines the distance of the tool above the material used during rapid movements within the generated program. Safe Position ensures that the tool clears the material safely when moving between machining operations, preventing collisions and optimizing workflow.
For AitalMAC Manual and Semi-Auto operations, the equivalent parameter is the Safety above the stone parameter, which is located in the Parameters page, not within the tool edit window where Safe Position is configured. This distinction ensures clarity in how these parameters are applied within their respective contexts.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.5 Spindle Speed (RPM)
This parameter specifies the spindle revolutions per minute (RPM) and is valid in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications when using this tool. The spindle speed should be set considering the tool diameter, the material to be cut, and the recommendations provided by the tool manufacturer. Adhering to the recommended speed ensures optimal performance and prevents unnecessary wear or damage to the tool and material.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.6 XY Feed
This parameter is valid in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications and specifies the feed rate in units per minute (units/min) that the tool will use while cutting the material in the X and Y directions. It is recommended to follow the feed rate suggested by the tool manufacturer, considering the material being processed. This parameter has no viability for drill tool type.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.7 Z Plunge
Specifies the feed rate along the Z-axis during material entry. Set to 10%-15% of the XY Feed rate, with adjustments based on tool diameter, material properties, and manufacturer specifications. Ensures safe, effective plunging. Applicable in both AitalMAC and AitekCAM applications.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.8 Thickness
Exclusive to blade-type tools, this parameter is valid in both AitekCAM and AitalMAC applications. It is used in semi-automatic processing to precisely adjust machine movements between cuts, compensating for blade thickness. Only enabbled for tools of Blade-tool type.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.9 C Distance
The C Distance parameter does not function within the AitalMAC application. It was originally exclusive to AitekCAM for blade tools, where it served as a basic kinematics pivot offset for 4-axis machines. This parameter is now deprecated in AitekCAM and slated for removal from AitalMAC in future versions. Users of AitalMAC versions newer than this documentation may no longer see this parameter.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.10 K
The K parameter is exclusive to Tap-tool type, which are slated for removal. This parameter may no longer be present in AitalMAC application versions released after the date of this documentation.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.11 Z Oscillation
The Z Oscillation parameter is not used in the AitalMAC application and is exclusive to AitekCAM. It is valid only for Profiling and Finger Bit tools and specifies the wave height for oscillating toolpaths. When set to a non-zero value, it creates a wave-like motion along the Z-axis. The parameter can also take negative values, causing the entire wave to remain below the default working height.
This feature is used to ensure consistent tool wear along the entire length or to minimize visible lines in the material after processing.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.12 Oscillation Frequency
Oscillation Frequency is closely related to the Z Oscillation parameter and determines the frequency of the wave generated when Z Oscillation is non-zero. The frequency is defined as half the wavelength of the wave. This parameter just like "Z Oscillation" is not used in the AitalMAC application and is exclusive to AitekCAM, applicable only to Profiling and Finger Bit tools.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.13 Z Start
Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tool type, this parameter defines the starting height offset added to the tool's default working height. A negative value causes the tool to plunge deeper into the material. Groove Bits are designed for single-line segment paths in AitekCAM, enabling sloping linear paths when used in conjunction with Z End.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.14 Z End
Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tool type, this parameter defines the ending height offset added to the tool's default working height. Like Z Start, a negative value causes a deeper plunge into the material. Together with Z Start, it facilitates the creation of sloping linear paths for single-line segment operations.
¶ 1.2.1.7.2.15 Z Removal
Exclusive to AitekCAM and only applicable to Groove Bit tool type, Z Removal is an additional offset applied to both Z Start and Z End. It simplifies creating a series of tools with incremental depths, where each subsequent Groove Bit plunges deeper. As Z Removal decreases, the tool plunges further into the material, allowing for precise control over depth. A Z Removal value of 0 aligns the start and end heights exactly with Z Start and Z End offsets.
¶ 1.2.1.7.3 Reference Image

¶ 1.2.1.8.3 Delete
Deletes the active camera configuration. Deletion is not allowed if it is the only configuration available.
¶ 1.2.1.8.4 Camera Configuration Selection
A dropdown list displaying all available camera configurations. AitalMAC supports managing multiple configurations, typically organized by material thickness. This can be avoided by using instead the camera configurations manager in Pegasus CAD/CAM, allowing the use of a single general configuration in the AitalMAC application while Pegasus handles specific adjustments for varying thicknesses. As of this document's writing, this setup is common on most AitalMAC brand machines.
¶ 1.2.1.8.5 Zoom All
Clicking this button adjusts the view to fit the entire photo within the view area.
¶ 1.2.1.8.6 Start Pick Photo
This button captures a photo of the material on the machine workbench. The machine must be powered on, and the camera must be properly connected and identified. After opening the Pick Image window, the user must wait for the countdown displayed on the button to ensure proper connection.
Clicking the button raises the Z-axis and moves the machine to the designated position to take the photo. Before using this function, ensure the machine is in a safe state, ideally parked, which can be done from the Manual page. This precaution prevents any unintended movements or collisions.
¶ 1.2.1.8.7 Save
Opens the Windows Save File dialog to save the image captured by the camera. The saved image is typically scaled to 1 pixel per mm based on the active camera configuration.
¶ 1.2.1.8.8 Save Original
Opens the Windows Save File dialog to save the raw image captured by the camera without applying any perspective or dimensional corrections. This option, available only for DSLR camera setups, allows users to save the original image for comparison with the corrected version to assess any potential deterioration in quality.
¶ 1.2.1.8.9 Pos
Displays the current machine X and Y positions. This feature is intended for debug purposes only.
¶ 1.2.1.8.10 Reset
This button reboots the camera system to reinitialize it when it becomes unresponsive. Pressing "Reset" closes the "Pick Image" window and initiates the reboot process. The AitalMAC application then enforces a 1-minute wait before allowing reentry to the "Pick Image" window.
Use this button if the camera displays a black picture or connection errors specific to the camera system occur. After the minute elapses, manually click the "Search" button 🔍, located in the bottom toolbar, to re-establish the connection and verify connectivity.
¶ 1.2.1.8.11 Exit
Closes the "Pick Image" window.
¶ 1.2.1.9 Choose Second Tool
This button opens the tool list window to select and switch the current secondary active tool. This functionality is specific to 5-axis saws.
The secondary tool complements the primary saw blade tool, typically mounted alongside it on the spindle. It can be a Hollow Finger Bit, a drill, or a waterslot/calibration tool type. Secondary tool selection is specific to the AitalMAC application, where certain operations validate the tool type. This selection has no impact on Pegasus CAD/CAM. For example, the Probe Fingerbit operation in AitalMAC will not function if a blade-type tool is set as the secondary tool. The secondary tool is displayed at the bottom of the application, alongside the primary tool, separated by a pipe symbol (|).
¶ 1.2.1.10 Blade
This button toggles the spindle on and off, starting at the main tool's speed(RPM) or, if the B axis is at position 0, the second tool's speed(RPM). The spindle speed can also be adjusted manually using the spindle override slider.
¶ 1.2.1.11 Remote Status Light
A status light on the monitor shows remote control status: red means inactive, green means active.
¶ 1.2.1.12 TCP Status Light
The TCP (Tool Center Point) status is exclusively relevant on the Manual Page of the AitalMAC application for 5-axis saw machines. The status light switches from red (inactive) to green (active) when the physical TCP switch on the machine panel is turned on.
With TCP inactive (red), axis movements and rotations are direct: linear axes move along their respective directions, and rotations affect only the machine parts directly connected to the motor for each axis.
When TCP is active (green), movements are tool (saw blade) related. Linear movements follow the blade's orientation, meaning if the tool is angled, the machine moves linearly along that angle. If the tool rotates 180 degrees, directional controls may feel reversed; for example, pressing the right button might move the machine left. While initially counterintuitive, this mode allows precise manual cutting at any angle. To simplify navigation, imagine the table moving under the stationary tool rather than the head moving.
Rotations with TCP active occur around the blade's tip, which serves as the center of rotation. This ensures that the cutting edge remains consistent in position during adjustments, preventing the tool from shifting to a different spot as it would with TCP off. Moving the B axis, which rotates the tool tip around the Y axis, can be counterintuitive. Rotating B so that the blade comes down will actually move the machine up. Most users lift Z to its maximum before attempting B rotation, which will not leave enough space and will trigger B limit warnings or errors. To avoid this, keep the Z axis lower during B movements or perform these movements with TCP off.
¶ 1.2.1.13 Blade Thickness Check
This check mark enables the blade thickness to be included in movements perpendicular to the blade's cutting direction (Y+/Y-) exclusively when TCP is on. While not always required, it is essential when transitioning between cuts where the cutting side of the blade changes. For example, when switching from cutting the front side (using the back of the blade) to cutting the back side (using the front of the blade), the blade thickness must be included to ensure the piece is cut to the correct size.
In some cases, such as cutting pieces with consistent cutting sides (e.g., an L-shaped piece where both cuts use the same side of the blade), including the blade thickness will result in incorrect dimensions. This flexibility is why the blade thickness check is optional rather than a persistent feature.
Example Usage:
- To cut a piece 600mm wide:
- Perform the first front cut and raise the blade out of the stone.
- Enter "600mm" in the distance input field.
- Enable the blade thickness check.
- Move in the Y+ direction; the CNC will calculate and move 600mm plus the blade thickness automatically, as the blade check toggle is enabled.
- Complete the second cut to achieve a piece exactly 600mm wide.
¶ 1.2.1.14 Move Distance
Input field for the incremental distance for manual movements. When a value is entered in this field, and the user clicks any axis direction movement button, the machine will move incrementally in the direction indicated by the button for the specified amount.
If the entered distance exceeds the machine's limits, the machine will move to the limit instead. Additionally, if the blade thickness check is enabled, the blade thickness will be added to the movement. Incremental movements work with both TCP OFF and ON, but the blade thickness is only added when TCP is ON. Note that with TCP OFF, the machine will move differently, as described in the TCP chapter.
¶ 1.2.1.15 Stone Thickness
This input field allows the user to specify the thickness of the material (such as stone) on the workbench. The thickness can either be manually entered or automatically updated using the Probe Stone function, which runs a probing sequence to determine the material's thickness.
The stone thickness is utilized in both manual and semi-automatic functions. It plays a critical role in calculating safe rapid movement heights and determining the appropriate height for approaching and cutting the material with proper feed rates. Accurate input of the stone thickness ensures efficient and safe operations. Incorrect thickness input may cause the tool to plunge into the material at rapid feed, potentially damaging both the material and the tool.
Note: This parameter is specific to AitalMAC operations and does not apply to Pegasus post-processed programs.
¶ 1.2.2 Spindle
Figure 1.2.2: Spindle control functions tab
The Spindle tab provides direct controls for testing the spindle independently of tool setup. These controls are intended for diagnostic purposes.
¶ 1.2.2.1 Stop
Halts the spindle immediately, regardless of how it was started.
¶ 1.2.2.2 CW (ClockWise)
Enables the spindle to rotate clockwise, which is the standard rotation direction for AitalMAC machines.
- Orientation Note: On 5-axis saws, the spindle is typically horizontal and points toward the operator. From the operator's perspective, the blade appears to spin counter-clockwise, but from the spindle's perspective, it rotates clockwise.
- Compatibility: AitalMAC uses right-threaded spindles (unlike the traditional left-threaded spindles in the stone industry) to maintain consistency with CNC work centers. This allows for interchangeable tools and versatile machine functionality.
- Operation: This button must be pressed to initiate rotation. Speed adjustments (+/- buttons) will not function unless a direction is specified.
¶ 1.2.2.3 - (spindle Speed Decrease)
Reduces spindle speed by 100 RPM per click. Requires a rotation direction to be specified first.
¶ 1.2.2.4 + (spindle Speed Increase)
Increases spindle speed by 100 RPM per click. Requires the spindle to be initiated in a specified direction (set with the CW button).
¶ 1.2.3 Water Jet
Figure 1.2.3: Water Jet control functions tab
The Water Jet tab provides the primary functions for manually operating the waterjet cutting head. It is typically used for troubleshooting or testing before running automatic programs.
¶ 1.2.3.1 Up
Lifts the waterjet cutting head when clicked. Once lifted, the machine switches back to the previously active kinematics configuration.
¶ 1.2.3.2 Start Cut
Initiates the waterjet pump. When pressed, the pump begins building up pressure to the value set in the parameters page. Simultaneously, the garnet valve opens to allow garnet flow into the cutting head. After a predefined delay, also set in the parameters page, the waterjet is fully operational and ready to cut.
¶ 1.2.3.3 Down
Lowers the waterjet cutting head. The head will only descend if there is sufficient space; otherwise, the machine will display a warning about inadequate clearance, and the descent will be blocked.
When the waterjet cutting head is lowered, the machine automatically references its movements to the waterjet tip, regardless of the TCP switch or light status. This ensures precise control of cutting operations. The waterjet kinematics (Kins 1) remain active until the head is lifted again.
¶ 1.2.3.4 Stop Cut
Halts the waterjet pump. Pressing this button closes the sand supply valve and gradually slows the pump to a complete stop. This delay allows the system to flush sand from the pipes and ensures a safe and smooth shut-off, preventing potential damage.
¶ 1.2.4 Options
¶ 1.2.4.1 Clean Point
Clears all previously stored points from memory and removes them from the 3D preview, ensuring a clean workspace for recording new points.
¶ 1.2.4.2 Pick Point
Records a new point in memory and marks it as a red cross in the 3D preview. The point corresponds to the laser pointer's position, with its offsets relative to the tool configured in the parameters page. For 5-axis saws, orient the C axis at C -90 (parking) with the blade pointing forward to ensure accurate retrieval and alignment.
¶ 1.2.4.3 Save Points
Opens the Windows save dialog to save all stored points as a DXF file. Each point is represented as a circle in the DXF file, with its radius specified in the parameters page. This file is suitable for further processing or program creation.
The stored points have versatile applications, including:
- Material Position Reference: Use the points to locate the material's position within the machine or any reachable point in the working area.
- Realignment for Processing: Align the machine with pre-cut material for additional processing steps.
- Digitalizing Physical Templates: Record multiple points along the shape of a physical template placed on the machine workbench. These points can be connected in CAD software to recreate the shape digitally.
Note: The stored points adhere to the machine's coordinate system. If the laser pointer marks a point, the machine tool will process at that position—not the laser pointer.
¶ 1.2.4.4 Probe Blade
This button initiates the diameter check for the main blade tool mounted on the spindle. The machine moves to the designated probe position and carefully lowers toward the probe until the blade makes contact, allowing it to measure the blade's diameter. The measured value is then recorded in the tool's settings.
All subsequent manual and semi-automatic functions that utilize the blade automatically adjust for this measurement. Corrections include the safe rapid movement height, the height required to reach the material, and the height to approach the workbench surface. Since these height adjustments are calculated based on the blade's radius, any changes to the diameter will result in only half as much change in the corresponding height values. These adjustments ensure safe and precise machine operations.
Note: It is advised to initiate the probe blade sequence from the parking position, or at least from a position where it is safe to lift the blade straight up, to avoid collisions or unsafe movements.
¶ 1.2.4.5 Probe Fingerbit
The button for checking the length of the installed milling cutter is located on the machine. After checking, the actual length of the cutter will be recorded in the tool parameters, and the machine will execute commands with the necessary adjustments.
