| minWheelieLength | Minimum saw pusher position for activation of a "wheelie trap" move | 6.4.45.0 | ZX5 | 500 to 6000 | 2000 | See Wheelie Trap on ZX5 |
| ps_WheelToClamp | Length of time (ms) that infeed wheel rotates for when pulling into machine | 6.4.59.0 | ZX5 | 0 to 4000 | 2000 | Changes depending on the distance of the infeed table from the machining centre |
| useAngleNotCharacter | Use angle, not the prep character when deciding on angles | 6.4.65.0 to 6.4.98.2 | All | 0 or 1 | 0 | Use the actual angle sent, not the / character on variable angle machines - overcome the BM bug of the wrong /\ |
| gripperType | Gripper Type | 6.4.69.0 | Flowline | 0 or 1 | 0 | 0 - Standard
1 - Trueloc |
| overOptimise | Optimise error cushion | 6.4.70.0 | All | 0 to 40 | 2 | See overOptimising issue |
| useSXGripCheck | Use the grip check pullback on Saw side loading | 6.4.84.0 | ZX5 / Toothed Gripper | 0 or 1 | 1 | On ZX5s without a channel bar (up to Z064) the gripper is sometimes not located properly so this feature to test if the gripper is engaged can be disabled |
| nosePushBack | Distance of Push back on ZX5 toothed grip loading | 6.4.84.0 | ZX5 / Toothed Gripper | 0 to 10 | 5 | This addition of a 5mm push back in 6.3065 should help stabilise the datum hole positions, but on some machines, this has caused a problem. Setting this to zero makes the loading cycle work pre- 6.3065 method of pushing up to the gripper at standstill |
| ringType | Ring type parameter to control tooling sequence |
6.4.91.0 | Machining Centres | -1 to 5 | -1 | rtDefault = -1 - sets by default, changed on first loading
rtMk3 = 0 [one output per spindle motor and plunge together] rtMk3DP = 1 [one output per spindle motor and plunge together] rtZX = 2 [two outputs per spindle - motor first and plunge after] rtAutoflow = 3 [two outputs per spindle - motor first and plunge after] rtTwoHeadNoPlunge = 4 [No plunge, motor stays on throughout] rtThreeHead90 = 5 [ Not used] |
| infeedBeamMode |
Control mode for an infeed light beam | 6.4.91.0 | ZX5 | 0 to 2 | 0 | Fitted to Z084 for compliance |
| outfeedBeamMode | Control mode for an outfeed light beam | 6.4.91.0 | ZX5 | 0 to 2 | 0 | Fitted to Z084 for compliance |
| gripHoleSlotMode | Toothed gripper hole slotting mode | 6.4.93.0 | Toothed Gripper | 0 to 2 | 0 | Allows elongation of the toothed gripper holes on all profiles, or specific profiles
This helps the gripper pins locate if a profile has rotated slightly in the clamps Slotting modes 0 - off 1 - On profiles where the flip parameter = 'D' 2 - On all Profiles |
| gripHoleSlotSize | Toothed gripper hole slot size | 6.4.93.0 | Toothed Gripper | -5 to 5 | 0 | Movement of Y axis to produce gripper slot in mm
Can be + or - A negative value will elongate the hole towards the front of the machine - this is the most common as the profiles tend to roll back A positive value will elongate holes towards rear If elongation in both directions is needed, alter the yGripHolePosition parameter first and elongate +/- from that position

| canSkipInitialise | Flag software to skip the initialise function after estop and continue from where program was stopped | 6.4.96.0 | All Beckhoff TC3controls | 0 or 1 | 0 | Switch on to improve recovery speed after an estop.
This parameter needed following machine compliance upgrade to local gate, needs to be wired into estop circuit |
| ps_ejectpushMH | Pause for eject push on MH side. | 6.5.6.0 | Mk3 Flowline all-
in-one |
0 to 5000 | 3500 | This followed discovery of a bug which means MH side and saw side shared ps_ejectPush. This delay is now used solely for MH side ejacting |
