Tool changer and automatic tool contact button.
The tool changer consists of a number of tool spindle docking stations (up to a
maximum of 8, depending on what was ordered with the machine). The machine
knows the location of the docking stations and will retrieve and deposit tool
spindles as commanded by the program that it is running. Each time that a cutter
is inserted into a tool spindle, the distance to the tip of the tool is different. The
machine is provided with an automatic tool contact button that, when used, will
tell the machine the exact dimension of the tip of the tool in relation to the tool
spindle.
Automatic Z origin point (tool touch-off).
The machine is provided with an automatic tool
height adjustment. To activate the automatic
tool height adjustment, access the tools screen
and press "execute tool touch off" button.
This will cause the machine to move to the TTO
position, then move down slowly. Once the
cutter touches the contact button, electrical
contact is made, and the cutter will move up
away from the contact button. The machine
now knows the height of the cutter.
There is also a
manual method that is detailed
bellow.
1. Fit a flat bottom router bit to the spindle.
2. Jog (Z) the tip of the tool down so that it is
just above the top of the spoil board.
3. Step down in slow mode while turning the router collet by hand in the reverse
direction.
As you feel pressure, stop jogging down.
Note. Do not turn the router bit, as it is sharp and could cause injury.
4. Select the distance mode and enter 0.0254mm (0.0001"). Press Z+ (UP) and
rotate the cutter in the reverse direction until the cutter is free to move and there
is no drag. The cutter is now within 0.0001" above the spoil board.
5. Press TOOLS button to go to the tool page, then press "TEACH TOOL
LOCATION" and then press "SET TOOL DATA."
6. When touching off from the spoilboard, it is necessary to set the Z Spoil to
zero. To do that, go to TOOLS>>NEXT>>press the box labelled Z spoil. enter 0.
7. Jog the router bit up or press the origin button to move the router bit up and to
the origin point.
