Parameters inform the control about many control functions.
They actually marry the CNC control to the machine tool being uses. One control model in a control manufacturer's product line, for example can be applied to many different CNC machine tools built by different machine tool companies. Though they are so very important, we find few CNC users who understand their function and fewer still that know about the parameters that affect the way CNC programs perform. This Mini-Vid will show the three parameter types, taking the mystery out of those funny numbers that make little sense to look at. Finally, we'll show about thirty parameters that will be of primary use to all CNC users.
