SPACE 2000 (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL
22
Axes summation enabling
(only for 3-axes T version and 4-axes M version)
This function enabled only in the SPACE 2000 3-axes T version switches from
independent 3-axes display to 2-axes display, one of which is the summation of
two axes.
The purpose is to reach the algebraic sum of the two coaxial axes (longitudinal
carriage and tool-holder axes) and then obtain a single display in order to facilitate
working on the lathe.
The two axes must be separable for two reasons:
during the absolute zero restoration and memorisation operations (each axis
has its own MACHINE ZERO on the transduction)
in order to perform taper working in which the tool-holder is inclined, and in this
way no longer coaxial with the carriage’s longitudinal axis.
Necessary conditions:
a SPACE 2000 3-axes T version must be present.
the SPACE 2000 must be set in position display conditions ("POS" LEDs ON)
Select the function by pressing the
following keys :
The
“F8”
message
appears on
the X-axis display to indicate the
choice of the function to be
enabled.
All the LEDs except PWR and the
displays of the other axes are
switched off.
The indication of the origin/tool
remains enabled.
In order to quit this selection and
return to the position display, press
the key :
In order to enable the function
selected press:
The
“DUAL
ON”
message
appears on the X-axis display
if the
axis summation condition was not
enabled; otherwise, the
“DUAL
OFF”
message appears if the axis
summation condition was enabled.
The visual effect of the function
enabled is very simple: the central
Z-axis switches off and the sum
value of the two axes appears on
the Z1-axis.
