CNC System Instruction
3.3.7.2Example
The system is able to identify and calculate the rotation angle by measuring the origin point and the end point of an
edge of steel plate(a straight line). The procedure is as follows:
Determine the datum line. Take one borderline of steel plate as baseline and move the cutting torch to the origin point of
this baseline. Press [F2] to set the beginning point of measurement.
Control the cutting torch and let it move along the baseline to the end point. The larger distance between the beginning
point and the end point, the more accurate of the measurement. Aim the cutting torch at the baseline and press [F3]
to set the end point of measurement.
At this moment, the rotation angle of the datum line is calculated. After the rotate function is fulfilled, the rotation angle
will appear in the OPERATE field, as shown in Fig. 3.2 below.
3.3.8[F4]
MIRR
It is possible to select
X Mirror
,
Y Mirror
and
No Mirror
if press [F5] key continually. When X Mirror is selected,
the machining program will run along the symmetry direction of X
-
axis, as appears inverted horizontally.
When Y Mirror is selected, the machining program will run along the symmetry direction of Y
-
axis, as appears invert-
ed vertically. When default No Mirror is selected, the machining program will run normally.
3.3.9 [F5]
SCALE
The system will reminder user to input scale if this key is pressed. When the machining program is executed, the work
size will magnify or minify as per this scale. This feature is very useful in cutting graphic character.
3.3.10 [F2] WENTAI
The system will prompt to run WENTAI
-
based machining program if this key is pressed. WENTAI is a word machining
software for CAD/CAM, widely used in cutting graphic characters in advertisement business. This feature is required to run a
WENTAI
-
based program.
3.4. Start

up of speed mode
(multiplying factor) and automatic mode
3.4.1Manual speed and return speed
In either manual or return mode, manual multiplying factor is used to adjust speed.
Effective Speed
＝
maximum speed limit * manual multiplying factor
, where the manual multiplying factor is
adjustable with [F], [F
↑]
and [F
↓]
key.
3.4.2Machining Speed
Automatic multiplying factor is used to adjust machining speed.
Machining Speed
＝
machining speed limit * machining multiplying factor
, where the automatic multiplying
factor is adjustable with [F], [F
↑]
and [F
↓]
key.
These two speed multiplying factors are permanently saved and subject to no affect from power
-
off operation
once they are set.
3.4.3Start of automatic mode
Prior to starting automatic mode,
Select correct machining program and appropriate machining speed (multiplying factor). Move the cutting torch to
the cutting position. The cutting torch will be lifted automatically after a machining program is initiated (to execute M70). And
now, it is ready to start the machining program in automatic mode.
