What is the maximum number of Cartesian Position Check Zones allowed?

The maximum number of Cartesian Position Check Zones allowed is 32. This feature is an integral part of FANUC systems, specifically designed to enhance safety and efficiency in operation. The Cartesian Position Check Zones serve as predefined areas within the operational space of the machine. They enable the system to monitor and confirm the position of the tools or workpieces within specified limits. By establishing these zones, operators can ensure that machining operations do not exceed the defined parameters, which helps in avoiding potential collisions or inaccuracies during the process.

This capability is particularly valuable in complex machining environments where spatial constraints and safety measures are crucial. The utilization of up to 32 zones provides a comprehensive approach to managing the operational envelope of the machine, thereby ensuring optimal performance and safety protocols are adhered to during operation. The specific limit of 32 is important, as it reflects the system's design and its operational capacity to handle multiple checks efficiently within the machining cycle.
