(9) Position memory
This memory stores up to 3 spindle positions and allows the spindle to move to a previously stored
position with a single key operation.
(9A) Storing a spindle position in a position memory
Key operation Response display/output
1
Enter the normal count mode.
2 Press [ ∨ ] or [ ∧ ].
Move the spindle to a position desired to be stored.
3 Press [TEACH].
4 Press [PM1].
When one of the [PM1], [PM2], and [PM3] keys is
pressed, the spindle position is stored in the key.
(9B) Calling the spindle position from the position memory
Key operation Response display/output
1 Press [PM1]. The C.T indicator flashes.
When one of the [PM1], [PM2], and [PM3] keys is
pressed, the spindle moves to the position stored in the
key.
A position memory stores a spindle position with reference to the origin. If the origin position is changed,
the positions stored in the position memories are also changed.
While a position memory is active, the C.T indicator flashes, the peak mode changes to the normal
mode, and the HOLD input is ignored.
(10) Other useful functions
1) Foot switch
Automatically moves up or down the spindle depending on whether the contact point is in contact
with a workpiece, enabling hand-free operation.
2) Touch hold
Automatically holds measured data upon detection of a workpiece.
(Effective at Parameter No.36 =1.)
3) Touch hold data output(Effective at Parameter No.36=1,
Parameter No.28=2.)
Automatically outputs touch hold data as RS-232C code or Digimatic code.
4) Touch hold auto-return
Automatically moves up the spindle after touch hold operation when foot switch input is performed.
(Effective at P. No.36 =2 and P. No.28 =2.)
To stabilize repeated touch hold data, it is necessary to allow a wait time of 0.5 sec or 1 sec after
the spindle comes into contact with a workpiece.
