8-1-1. Bolt Hole Circle Function
Equidistant holes can be opened along the perimeter of a designated diameter. This function is available for
2-axis and 3-axis models only.
a) Equally-spaced holes along the overall circumference
Parameter input
1 Press the key so that BOLT flashes, and then press the key. (BOLT lights up)
2 Enter the diameter , and then press the key.
Make the entry based on the input units (mm (inch)) and minimum input resolution.
3 Enter the number of holes , and then press the key. Input range: 2 to 360 holes
4 Enter the starting angle , and then press the key. Input range: 0.00 to 359.99 degrees
5 Press the key when the ending angle and the ending angle value, which equal the
starting angle value, are displayed.
Execution
1 Move to the center (start position) of the bolt hole circle, and then press the key to execute.
2 The position of the No. 1 hole is displayed.
3 Move the machine to display “0”.
4 Press key and repeat above procedures up to the number of holes.
5 After the final hole has been formed, press the key. is displayed, and the current values are
displayed.
