Zero Point Adjustment
The zero point adjustment function is made valid or invalid
on the OPERATION PANEL screen, which is displayed by
pressing the function selection key
(SETTING).
1.
Usually, "INVALID" is set.
2.
The valid and invalid status of the zero point
adjustment function changes simultaneously
when the status is changed for either of
turret 1 and turret 2.
<Zero point adjustment function>
Since dogless type zero return method is used, axis movement becomes impossible if the present
position data is lost due to a trouble or other reasons.
The zero point adjustment function is used to allow axis movement when adjusting the zero point
to establish the present position under the condition that the present position data has been lost
and axis movement disabled.
<When the zero point adjustment function is valid>
When the zero point adjustment function is valid, axis movement is enabled even if the present
position data is lost.
However, the rapid traverse rate is clamped at
(fine feed).
If "VALID" is set for ZERO POINT SET while the present position data is lost, interlocks
related with axis movement are all canceled.
Therefore, move an axis very carefully. If an axis is moved carelessly, the turret or the
carriage might be hit against the cover causing damage to the machine.
When the present position is established after the adjustment of the zero point, the setting
for ZERO POINT SET is automatically returned from VALID to INVALID.
<When the zero point adjustment function is invalid>
Axis movement is not permitted if the present position data is lost.
