2.5 Special operations
2.5.1 Scaling factor
It is possible to apply a scaling factor within ±9.999 for mold making
applications:
The DRO will then show the axis position resulting from multiplying its real
position by the 'value' of the scaling factor.
2.5.2 To access the special functions (Hold, taper calculation, calculator)
Pressing [F] accesses the "special functions" menu.
This key may be used to display the various available options.
Pressing [ENTER] assumes the selected option.
Options: 1 - HOLD
2 - Angle calculation
3 - Calculator
Note:
A function may be directly accessed by pressing [F] and then the function
number. That is, [F] [1] to access HOLD directly or [F] [2] for angle
calculation.
2.5.3 Coordinate freeze (HOLD).
It enables “freezing” the display of the counter whilst inside it goes on reading
the real position of the axis. This comes about when it is necessary to change
the tool and preset the dimension of the new one.
Tool preset in HOLD mode.
It is possible to preset on the X axis the actual diameter value of the machined
part (measured with caliper or micrometer).
Procedure:
Having selected a tool:
• Machine the part to any diameter.
• Without removing the tool, set the X axis in HOLD mode.
• Remove the tool and measure the resulting diameter.
• Preset the part diameter. That value will be preset as the offset of the
selected tool.
• Exit the HOLD mode.
