After Start has been pressed, the display changes to the following:
Feed Speed CUTTING STARTED
0% 100%
Pre-set Feed Speed : 0.100 mm/s Actual
Feed Speed : 0.100 mm/s
Remaining Process Time: 3 min
Both the pre-set and the actual feed speed are displayed. The
horizontal bar is used to display the feed speed graphically.
During the cutting process the feed speed can be changed. Simply
press Enter

and change the feed speed to the correct value. Press
Enter

again to confirm the change or Esc to cancel.
The only possibility of moving the sample after the cutting process
has been started is to retract the sample from the cut-off wheel. This
can be done by pressing the POSITION DOWN

key. The forward
movement of the sample is stopped and the sample moved
backwards until the key is released again. Then the sample will start
again to move forward with the pre-set feed speed. If the pre-set feed
speed can not be achieved because the force limit is reached,
Accutom-5 automatically reduces the feed speed to the maximum
possible speed. This value is displayed, and after the cut is finished,
the following message is shown on the display:
CUTTING FINISHED
Force limit was reached during cutting
feed speed reduced to:
0.070 mm/sec
For similar samples to be cut afterwards, the feed speed should be
reduced to the new value or below.
