(10/29) - DRO operation - Installation/Operation - 10i / 20i - V0703
Notes:
If installation parameter PAR11=1, the presetting sequence is:
[ENTER]
[axis]
[value]
[ENTER]
.
Switching over to [ABS] mode, displays the distance to part zero (datum).
2.5 Special operations
2.5.1 Scaling factor
It is possible to apply a scaling factor within ±9.999 for mold making
applications:
The DRO will then show the axis position resulting from multiplying its real
position by the 'value' of the scaling factor.
2.5.2 Part centering
Note:
This feature is available when none of the axes have installation
parameter PAR04(2)=1 (radius/diameter commutable)
.
Part centering can be done as follows:
- Set the dro in absolute mode.
- Touch one side of the part with the tool.
- Set the reading to zero pressing for an axis [
CLEAR
] [
X
] for one axis or
[
CLEAR
] [
Y/Z
] for the other one (20i).
- Take the tool to the other side of the part and touch this with it.
- Press the sequence
[1/2]
[X]
for one axis or
[1/2] [Y/Z]
for the other (20i).
The DRO will display half of the distance covered by the tool.
- Retract the axes until the displays read 0.0000, the tool can be placed
exactly at the center of the part.
