Operation Modes
There are two function operation modes. They are teaching mode and monitoring mode, and the
mode selection is possible by pressing the
[MODE]
soft-key on the LOAD MONITOR screen.
These two modes are briefly explained below.
<Teaching mode>
In this mode, the function detects and records the maximum load value during cutting in the
specified group interval. The maximum load value obtained in this operation is used as the
reference of the value to be set to execute monitoring.
The maximum load value can be obtained by carrying out cutting once with a new tool.
<Monitoring mode>
The function compares the load value detected during cutting in the specified group intervals to
the preset warning and alarm detection threshold level values of the same group intervals. The
following processing is executed if the detected load value exceeds the preset threshold level
value.
