The common operation states of CNC engraving machine mainly include idle state, locking state, emergency stop state, running state and pause state.
- Idle state
This is the most common state, in this state, the machine currently has no action output, and is ready to accept new tasks and start new actions at any time.
- Lock state
Lock state is an internal state, which generally refers to the state switching. So in general, users can’t touch it.
- Emergency stop state
This is an anomaly. When the machine tool has hardware fault or the user presses the “emergency stop” button, the system will enter this state and perform the pre-determined protection actions, such as closing the spindle motor and cooling pump. In this state, the machine tool is also locked and can not perform any new actions. After the user removes the hardware fault or releases the emergency stop switch, the system automatically performs the “reset” operation to restore the machine tool to the “idle” state.
- Operation status
When the machine tool is executing the action, the system enters the running state.
- Pause state
When the machine tool is moving, if the user executes the “operation | pause” command, or the system resolves to M01 (waiting command), the system enters the pause state and waits for further input from the user. The user can continue the execution by executing the “operation | start” command, or execute the “stop” or “reset” command to stop the current operation and make the system enter the “idle” state
