Purpose :
Most cabinet on the market provide just two set of work co-ordinates - . It was DRO ABS/INC
found that was inadequate and inconvenient to use, and, particularly in the case of ABS/INC
complex machining or repetitive work, which needed more than just two sets of working
co-ordinates.
operation has the following shortfalls : ABS / INC
- In much machining work, the work-piece machining dimensions are derived from more than
two datums, therefore, the operator has to switch between and to set up the ABS INC
machining datums time after time. This process is very time consuming and prone to error.
- In the case of batch machining of repetitive work, the operator has to set up and calculate
all the machining positions time after time.
RD-11M 199 sdm ABS/INC SdM provides a subdatum ( ) memory to cope with the shortfalls of .
function does not just simply provide sets of co-ordinates, it is specially designed to provide much 199 INC
more convenient features for the operator to cope with repetitive work.
The difference between
and is as follows:. INC SdM
1. is independent of and will not follow any change in zero point. All INC ABS ABS sdm
co-ordinates are relative to the coordinates, so, all positions will move together ABS SDM
when the zero position changes. ABS
2. All relative distance data to can be entered directly into memory using the SdM ABS RD-11M
keypad. No need for any additional calculations.
SdM application in a work piece that has more
that one datum.
Operator can store all the work subdatums in
RD-11M's memory as per follows.
( ) sdm 2
Subdatum 2
( )
ABS
Work piece
main datum
( ) sdm 1
Subdatum 1
( ) sdm 4
Subdatum 4
( ) sdm 3
Subdatum 3
Operator then can
switch between
the subdatums directly
by pressing key
No need to refer back
to ABS coordinate and
set up the subdatums
from their relative
distance from ABS point
( ) sdm 3
point 3
( ) ABS
Work Piece Datum (0.000)
( ) sdm 2
point 2
( ) sdm 4
point 4
( ) sdm 1
point 1
SdM application on the repetitive batch machining of
parts
Because all sdm subdatums (0.000) are relative to
ABS zero, so, for any repeative work, the
operator just needs to set up the first work piece zero
at ABS and store the machining position in subdatum
zero.
For anymore repeative parts, just set up the 2nd, 3rd..
work piece zero at ABS, then all the machining
positions will reappear
