Zero approach
This flashes the Axis Label display when one or more axes are
approaching zero.
For example: If you set the Zero Approach for the X axis, with a
Zero Approach Limit of 1.25, then the axis label display flashes
for values from ‘-1.250X’ to ‘1.250X’. When the axis is
within 0.05mm (0.002”) for a Spherosyn encoder or 0.025mm
(0.001”) for a Microsyn encoder, the display stops flashing.
Zero approach on / off
There are two settings for each axis:
Press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to cycle through
these settings.
Zero approach limit
You use this setting to choose how close to zero the axis needs
to be for the display to flash.
To set the Zero Approach Limit:
1. Set the Zero Approach On.
2. Press the down navigation key.
The displays for the selected axes change to ‘0000’ or a
previously entered value.
3. Press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’ to choose
which axis to edit.
For example: To enter a limit of 1.25, press [1] [.] [2] [5]
[ent].
4. If necessary, press the Select Key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’ or ‘z’
to enter the limit for another axis.
Taper display axis
This setting works in conjunction with the Taper function.
One of the axis displays shows ‘tAPEr On’ while the other
two displays show ‘tAPr OFF’.
Press the Select Keys to choose which axis displays the Taper
function.
Reset
This restores all settings to their factory defaults, and you
should, therefore, only use it if absolutely necessary.
The middle display shows ‘rESEt’.
Press [ent] or the Select Key next to the ‘r’ to select the Reset
function.
