2. Press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to enter the
setup procedure for that axis.
The display changes to ‘SEt ZEro’.
3. Set the machine to the point you have chosen as your
Starting Point, and zero the high-accuracy standard at this
point.
4. Press [ent].
The display changes to ‘goto 1’.
5. Set the machine to the point you have chosen to be
Correction Point 1.
6. Press [ent].
The display changes to ‘EntSd 1’.
7. Enter the distance from the Starting Point, as measured by
the standard.
For example: Press [6] [7] [8] [.] [9] [ent] to enter a
Correction Point of 678.9.
The C80 calculates and displays the correction factor for
this point.
8. Press the down navigation key to go to the next point.
9. Repeat steps 5 to 8 for each Correction Point.
10. When you have entered all the correction points, press
[abs/inc].
The display changes to ‘gotO rEf’.
11. Set the machine to the point you have chosen as the
Reference Point.
12. Press ent.
The display returns to ‘Err SEt’.
13. If required, press the Select Key next to ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to
enter the error compensation for another axis.
You can define up to 99 segments per axis.
To use Segmented Error Compensation, you need to have a
high accuracy standard, such as a laser measuring system.
Segmented Error Compensation initially defaults to Off, with
no points set.
If you set Segmented Error Compensation to Off after you
have set the Correction Points, then the data is retained, but
not applied. When you next set the Segmented Error
Compensation to On, the data is re-applied.
You must carry out this procedure in strict sequence, and in full,
for it to be valid.
You can press the Select Key at steps 1 to 8 to display the
current uncorrected position relative to the Starting Point.
Do not worry about the direction of the standard measurement.
For example, 678.9 and
−678.9 are treated the same.
You can press [ce] to clear an entry one character at a time.
