END TEACH
: ends the teaching process and returns you to the main DRO screen.
If you press the POSN DRILL key, the event counter will go up by one and the screen
remains the same. If you press the MILL BEGIN key, the event counter stays on the
same number. That is because you have given the beginning point of the line but not
yet the end. The softkey selections will change to:
MILL END
: the last point of the Mill event. Press this to end the Mill event and select a
POSN DRILL or new MILL event.
MILL CONT
: the last point of the current Mill event, but the beginning of the next Mill
event. You may enter successive Mill events by pressing the MILL CONT key.
Pressing either of the above softkeys will cause the event counter to increase by one.
At any time you may exit the Teach screen and return to the DRO screen. The events you have
defined with their X and Y dimensions are finished in the Program Mode. See Section 7.3.6.
The Z information also needs to be filled in once you go back to program mode. This is
applicable when running the 2 ½ axis DPMEX2 mill.
6.8 Tool #
The Tool # softkey is used in 2 ½ axis mode when you want to change the tool you have in the
spindle. The Z DRO prompt will update once you enter in a new tool number, assuming you
have set the tool length offset in the tool table.
