. This process "syncs" the mechanical position with the value now stored in 1860. For detailed technical specifications, refer to the Fanuc Series 0i-MODEL F Plus Parameter Manual Series 16i/18i Parameter Manual using these parameters? FANUC? M6 toolchange position. | Practical Machinist
This parameter sets the number of pulses required to move the axis by one unit of detection. It is part of the "Calculation of Detection Unit" formula. The CNC uses this value alongside the gear ratio and ball screw pitch to determine the "Detection Unit" (the smallest moveable distance the CNC recognizes). fanuc parameter 1860 full
In more recent FANUC controls—specifically Series 16i/18i/160i/180i Model A/B and their successors—Parameter 1860 plays an important supporting role in reference point management. It is part of the "Calculation of Detection Unit" formula
When you establish a machine's zero point (reference point) after setting Parameter 1815 (APZ/APC), the control calculates the exact relationship between the mechanical position of the axis and the encoder's counter. It then stores this "pairing" data across two parameters: fanuc parameter 1860 full
