Vectoring
Vectoring breaks down the movement of the compound axis into the
crossfeed or longitudinal axes . If you are turning threads, for example,
vectoring lets you see the diameter of the thread in the X-axis display,
even though you are moving the cutting tool with the compound axis
handwheel. With vectoring enabled, you can preset the desired radius
or diameter in the X-axis, so that you can “machine to zero”.
Select VECTORING from Job Setup.
Press the ON soft key to enable the vectoring feature.
Arrow down to the Angle field to enter the angle between the
longitudinal slide and top slide with 0° indicating the top slide is
moving parallel to the longitudinal slide.
Press ENTER.
Z Coupling
The 200S Turning application provides a quick method for coupling the
Z
0
, and Z axes positions on a 3, or 4 axis system. The display can be
coupled in either the Z
0
, and Z displays.
When vectoring is used, the top slide (compound) axis
encoder must be assigned to the bottom display axis. The
crossfeed component of movement of the axis will then
be shown in the top display axis. The longitudinal
component of movement of the axis will be shown in the
middle display axis.
