Display shows: “R OR D” Default: 0 (radius)
Function: Used to set enable an axis so it can display in Diameter mode.
Setting an axis to “1” means that axis will display double (diameter) when the
is pressed in normal operating mode. This is important for Lathes where
position needs to relate to the part diameter.
Operation: Press the key to enter the function.
The axes windows will display their current settings.
Press the axis key for the axis you want to change. e.g.
This will toggle through the available options: “0” or “1”
When set as required press the key to return to the main setup menu
Display shows: “LIN COMP” Default: 0.000
Function: This is used to setup a linear compensation factor for scales that may not be
mounted parallel to the axis of the machine.
THIS SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHERE OBVIOUS LINEAR ERRORS ARE OBSERVED
The function works by multiplying the measurement from the scale/encoder
by a constant factor in PPM (Parts Per Million = microns/meter).
Example:
Scale measures 500.040 : True measurement is 500.000
error = 0.080mm over 1m, or 80PPM
Operation: Press the key to enter the function. The axes windows will display the
current settings. Press the axis key for the axis you want to change. e.g.
Enter the value using the numeric keys
You can change the sign of the compensation using the key
Press the key when you have finished entering the compensation value.
Repeat for each axis.
When set as required press the key again to return to the main setup menu
Display shows: “DIRECTE” Default: 0
Function: This is used to define the positive direction of travel for the machine axis
Operation: Press the key to enter the function. The display will show “SEL AXIS”.
Press the axis key for the axis you want to change. e.g.
This will toggle between the options “0” and “1”.
Setting to “1” will reverse the natural count direction from the scale.
When set as required press the key to return to the main setup menu
