3.3.3
Threading function
This function helps you making threads of various pitches on a lathe. This function is only available on
machines that have an encoder on the leadscrew. Refer to section
4.6.5 "Threading" on page 35
to see
how to install the encoder and set the relevant parameters.
3.3.3.1
Threading Procedure
It is the thread pitch in mm or threads per inch (tpi).
Cancel threading
Execute Threading cycle It will display the threading
screen.
Home
Main screen
3 bars will now appear on the screen.
The top LED bar is for the linear scale feedback that’s
attached to Z axis. The middle LED bars are for the
encoder feedback that’s attached to the leadscrew. The
bottom bar shows the distance to go.
Setup
When beginning to work, depending on the encoder
position, sometimes it is impossible to engage the axis.
So, with the machine stopped, move the Z axis position
just to get one rectangle close to the other (one of the
colored rectangle on the right side of the red one) and
engage the machine.
Now using the DRO keys [ < -] [ -> ], move the red rectangle just to see it over the other colored rectangle
and then press Enter.
IMPORTANT
The LED bars need to move from right to left.
If they are not, reverse polarity as described on page:
