11. Press the right navigation key to finish setting the
parameters.
The function display shows ‘01’.
Machining the holes
The two axis displays for the selected plane now show the
distance to the first hole.
1. To position the tool ready for machining the hole, move the
axes until both displays read zero.
The function display shows the number of the hole to be
machined.
2. Press the left or right navigation key to move between the
holes, or enter the hole number. For example: Press [4] to
move directly to hole 4.
3. When all the holes have been machined, press [F1] or [F2]
to turn the function off.
If you make a mistake while entering a number, you can press
[ce] to clear the entry one character at a time.
Once you have pressed [ent] to complete an entry, you can
press the left and right navigation keys to move backwards and
forwards one step at a time.
To turn the function off, finish making any entry, then press the
function key again.
Polar coordinates
This function converts the position of two selected axes into
Polar coordinates.
The C80 normally uses the Cartesian Coordinate System, in
which the position of a point in any plane is defined by two
coordinates (X,Y; X,Z or Y,Z).
In the Polar Coordinate System, an imaginary line is drawn
between the position of the point and the datum.The Polar
coordinates displayed are the length of the line (P), and its
angle, measured anti-clockwise from three o’clock.
