Operation
The operation steps are as below(taking X axis as an example):
1) Manually move the cutter (generally using the handwheel) to one side of workpiece, and then press
F1 [Record X] to record the machine coordinate of current point.
2) Move the cutter to the other side of workpiece, and then press F2 [Center X] to calculate the
midpoint coordinate based on the coordinate of current position and the last recorded value and set
it as workpiece origin.
CAUTION
In the process of centering of a certain axis, the other coordinate axis should keep still.
3.9.2 Circle Centering
Circle centering, i.e. three-point centering, means automatic calculation of center point coordinates
(generally set as workpiece origin) of a circular blank in terms of the three recorded circle coordinates.
In centering interface, press S to switch to the circle centering function, shown as below:
Fig. 3-34 Circle Centering Interface
The operation steps are as below (taking X axis as an example):
1) Manually move the cutter to one point on the circumference of a circular blank, and then press F1
[Record 1] to record the machine coordinates of current point as the first group of coordinate;
2) Move the cutter to another point on the circumference, and then press F2 [Record 2] to record the
machine coordinates of current point as the second group of coordinate;
3) Move the cutter to the third point on the circumference, and then press F3 [Center] to calculate the
circle center coordinates and set them as workpiece origin based on the current machine
coordinates and the two groups of coordinate recorded previously.
