226 10 Setup
10.1 Setup
Manual Z:
Defines the action the DRO takes when a running program
encounters a manual Z operation.
The default is Switch to Inc which switches the DRO to INC
mode.
The alternative is Do Nothing which performs no action, leaving
the DRO in whatever mode the user has it in.
The selected option will be the default for the dialogues and can
only be changed here in Job Setup.
For Graphics:
The setting can either be set to On to always show the field
graphic assistant in a step form.
Or set to Automatic for displaying additional fields when available
in place of the graphic assistant.
Job Clock - Parts Counter:
For setting the parts counter and stopping or starting the Job Clock.
The Job Clock will provide an estimate of time to machine the part,
provide a stop watch, parts counter, and overall Job time.
Probing:
When a probe is used, the probe tip radius is entered here. This
value will be used in dialogues where applicable.
Scale factor
Scale factor is a multiplier that lets you expand or shrink the print’s
dimensions without performing complex calculations, or affecting the
proportion of your part. Enter the number that the dimensions should
be multiplied by, then run the program normally. MILLPWR
G2
will
adjust the programmed dimensions (but not the tool size)
automatically.
Scale factor is limited to a range of 0.1” to 10.0”.
The MILLPWR
G2
scale default setting is 1.0000. A value greater than
1.0000 will increase the part’s dimensions; a value less than 1.0000
will reduce them. This is saved to the configuration block and will be
remembered until it is changed to a new setting.
MILLPWR
G2
will display the current scale factor in the status bar at the
top of the display screen.
To change the scale factor
In Job Setup, highlight the Scaling field, and enter the multiplication
factor.
Press the USE key.
