SPACE 2000 EVO/N (T and M versions) OPERATION MANUAL

SUM FOR TWO AXIS
This function can be used to perform an algebraic sum of the movements of two Carriages
moving in directions parallel one to each other: e.g. the main Carriage and the Tool
Carriage of a lathe, the Upright and the Spindle of a miller, etc...
If this function has been
activated
(decimal point flashing on the display being added up)
the operator can “see”
the true position of the tool.
If, for example, one Carriage is moving forwards and the
other is moving backwards by the same value, the count does not change (this is because
the distance between the tool and the work piece has not changed). The instrument is
configured by the Manufacturers as required for the type of application. It will be possible
in any case to reconfigure it (ask for the access codes and procedures) if different
applications are required for use on other types of machines.
On completion of the installation, check the following:

NOTES:
1.
The Axes being added up are shown in
boldface
. The other configurations
cannot be added up since the type of application does not require this.
2.
The Axes to be added up must have the same direction of counting, the same
scale factor values and the same increment/decrement percentages, while the
linear correction factor may be different for each Axis.
The algebraic sum function may be de-activated.
