Thrust Cutting
Refer to Line Bore in this section for mounting the block and aligning the 90 degree head.
Note: It is important to read through the entire Thrust Bearing Cutting section before entering any values
or starting the Auto Cycle. You will better understand how the program operates and how the values
affect the operation of the Auto Cycle.
The Thrust Cutting program can cut a single or double thrust face using circular interpolation.
Select the Thrust Bearing Cutting button from the Main Menu. This will bring up the Thrust Bearing
Cutting Bore Mode with the Set Zeros tab shown.
Setting Zeros
The purpose of setting zero points is to give the operator a specific point to build programs from. The
machine also uses these zero points to run the program from. The zero points can be set at any point
in the machines’ travel. Each axis (except the Spindle rotation) will need to have a zero point set for the
machine to operate from.
Horizontal Zero
To set the Horizontal Zero, bring the cutter in using the Horizontal Hand Wheel until it just touches off the
current thrust face. Press the Horizontal Zero Button here. The computer will use this zero point when
cutting the depth of the thrust face.
Follow the procedure for setting zeros in the Line Bore Mode section of this chapter. Set the Horizontal
zero on the Main Bearing that is to have the Thrust cut.
After the zeros have been set select the nest tab to the right, Dimensions.
