Multiple Cuts Using the Specimen Positioning System with the DATUM ON
Function
When the DATUM function is in the ON position, the SPECIMEN QUANTITY equals the number
of cuts
plus
one (1).
The first cut is used to get a “clean” cut surface on the specimen and is then discarded.
1. Adjust the BLADE SPEED, FEED RATE, CUTTING LENGTH, SAMPLE THICKNESS,
SPECIMEN QUANTITY, and BLADE THICKNESS.
Press the SCROLL button until the desired parameter is highlighted and adjust the
parameter values using the INCREASE or DECREASE buttons.
2. Use the SCROLL button to scroll to the L4 Screen.
3. Press the DATUM button to the ON position.
4. Position the specimen using any of the required chucks.
If the first cut is to be a specimen cut, position the specimen to the location where the first
cut will be made. This will eliminate specimen waste.
5. Use the SCROLL button to scroll to the L1 Screen.
6. Press the PUMP MOTOR button to the ON position and position the coolant flow as desired.
7. Press the CUTTING CYCLE button to the ON position. The blade will begin to rotate at the
selected speed, the coolant will begin to flow, and the automatic feed will begin to advance.
The SPECIMEN QUANTITY parameter field will display the first cut as
DATUM CUT
then
will display the number of cuts:
1 of #, 2 of #, 3 of #, etc.
as the cuts are made to the
specimen.(For Asian languages the DATUM CUT will be displayed as a zero (0).
The blade will advance to cut the specimen. As the blade advances the numerical value
on the display screen will start to decrease. When the DISTANCE REMAINING field
reaches .00, the blade turret will retract.
The Specimen Positioning System will advance the specimen for the next cut as
determined by the CUTTING LENGTH parameter value. As the blade advances the
numerical value on the display screen will start to decrease. When the DISTANCE
REMAINING field reaches .00, the blade turret will retract, the Specimen Positioning
System will advance for the next cut, and the cutting cycle will begin again.
8. The cutting cycle will continue until the number of cuts (SPECIMEN QUANTITY) is
completed.
If after the CUTTING CYCLE is completed and more cuts are desired from the remaining
specimen, press the CUTTING CYCLE button to the ON position.
The blade will advance for the DATUM CUT but the specimen
will not
advance. Once the DATUM
CUT is complete, the specimen will advance for cuts at the determined SAMPLE THICKNESS.
