MMS/INCHES CONVERSION
Every time the following key is pressed the unit of measurement is switched from
MM
to
INCHES
or vice versa. Switching takes place instantaneously for all the Axes
being counted. The selected unit of measurement is shown by the position of the LED lit
on the keypad, and also by the position of the decimal points for the Axes being counted.
If activation of the conversion is not compatible with the operational conditions of the
instrument, pressing this key will cause an error message to be displayed.
WORKPIECE CENTRE
This function makes it easy to identify the centre between two points A and B of a
workpiece being machined (distance between centres of holes, geometrical figures, sides
of the workpiece, etc.). To perform the function, for example on the Y Axis, proceed as
follows:
A)
Go to the first position, A, by moving the Carriage along the Z
o
Axis.
Let us suppose that in this position the display of the Y Axis indicates
the dimension 30.00 (which it is not necessary to reset):
B)
Key
3 0. 0 0
®
Y
Both the LED of the Y Axis and the LED of the
½
symbol will flash on the keypad.
The auxiliary display will show the wording
“WORKPIECE CENTRE”.
C)
Now go to the second position, B. Let us suppose that in this position the display of
the Y Axis shows the dimension 52.22
D)
Key
or
1 1. 1 1
Y
The flashing LEDs will extinguish and a dimension will appear on the display of the
Z
o
Axis. This dimension is exactly half (rounded off, if necessary) of the path followed
by the Carriage between the two positions A and B. It will be sufficient to move the
Carriage as far as dimension “0.00” for it to be located exactly on the required
midpoint.
NOTE:
This function can only be carried out when the Axis concerned is set for
INCREMENTAL
counting
.
Otherwise it is not completed by the calculation, as
this would interfere with the
ABSOLUTE
count settings.
