DRO MODE OF OPERATION
To access this operating mode, the DRO must not be displaying any menu superimposed
on the screen. If this is not the case, press the
key.
If the count of any axis is outside the travel limits set by machine parameters Px15 and
Px16, the axis position values will appear blinking on the screen.
The values of the linear axes will be shown in millimeters (MM) or inches (INCHES)
depending on the highlighted text displayed in the corresponding lower window.
Press the
key to toggle between the two types of display units.
The position values of the rotary axes will be shown in degrees with a resolution of
0.0001 degree units (DEG) (for example: 6.4370°) or in degrees, minutes and seconds
(DMS) (for example 6° 23' 13") depending on the highlighted text in the corresponding
lower window.
Press the
key to toggle between the two types of display units.
The position values for linear and rotary axis can be referred to the following reference
zeros:
*
Machine Reference Zero (home). The DRO must be showing ABSolute
coordinates (position values) and the REF 0 must be selected.
*
Part Zero or Absolute Zero. Up to 9 absolute zeros or zero offsets are possible;
one for each reference REF 1 thru REF 9 and the ABS indicator will be on
whenever the positions of the axes are referred to these points.
*
Floating or Incremental Zero. Up to 10 incremental zeros are possible. Each
one corresponding to the selected reference REF 0 thru REF 9. The “INC”
indicator will be on whenever the positions of the axes are referred to these points.
