Has EXOFS been set?
EXOFS in the NC code has a function to shift the origins. Set EXOFS to zero, and then reset the origins. If the
origins are still shifted, check the program.
Procedure to set EXOFS to zero
1. Select "Machine Coordinate System" from the display of the coordinate system in the iModela Controller.
2. Move the cutting tool to the following location: "X: 0," "Y: 0," and "Z: 0."
3. Set [Set Origin Point] to "EXOFS."
4. Click [X/Y] and [Z] of [Set Origin Point].
The Feed Rate Is Wrong
Have you adjusted (overridden) the feed rate?
The feed rate adjustment (override) feature has a function to change the feed rate. Check the feed rate adjust-
ment value. Unless you have a special reason for changing it, leave the adjustment value set at 100%.
P. 27, "Adjusting (Overriding) the Feed Rate during Cutting"
The Cutting Results Are Not Clean
Are the cutting parameters optimal?
The optimal cutting parameters are determined by the hardness of the cutting material, the feed rate, the
cutting-in depth, and the abilities of the cutting tool. Adjust the parameters little by little as you check the
cutting results.
Is the cutting tool firmly secured in place?
Re-tighten the collet's mounting screw to fix the cutting tool in place.
P. 15, "Installing the Cutting Tool and Loading the Cutting Material"
Is the blade of the cutting tool worn?
If the blade of the cutting tool is worn, replace it with a new cutting tool.
The LED Beside the Power Button Is Flashing
Is the computer screen displaying an error message?
If the LED is flashing slowly, the operation is paused. If the LED is flashing fast, an emergency shutdown has
occurred. Read the message and P. 59, "Responding to Error Messages" of this guide to take an action.
