Additional Tooling Set-up
There are other tool set-up pages within the Current Commands. Press Curnt Comds and then use the Page Up/
Down buttons to scroll to these pages.
The first is the page with “Spindle Load” and “Vibration” at the top of the page. The programmer can add a tool load
limit for spindle load and vibration. The control will reference these values and can be set to do a specific action
should the limitations be reached (See setting 84).
The second page is the Tool Life page. On this page there is a column called “Alarm”. The programmer can put a
value in this column which will cause the machine to stop once the tool has been used that amount of times.

Part Zero is a user defined reference point that the CNC control will use to program all moves from.
1. Select tool #1 by pressing MDI, enter “T1” and press ATCFWD.
2. Jog X and Y until the part is approximately under the spindle.
3. Jog the Z-axis down, first by using the .1 jog increment.
4. Press .0001/.1
