Vector
46
Vectoring combines the movement of the “X” and “Z” axes with the angle of the compound.
Note: Vector is only available on 3 and 4 axes units.
If the compound is set at an angle, vector is very useful. If the compound is aligned with the “X” or “Z”
axis, the summing function should be used.
To select Vector
Enter the desired vector angle.
Combined X movement = X + Z’(Sin a)
Combined Z movement = Z + Z’(Cos a)

To start:
Note: Changing of the angle is always done through the Vector Setup Screen. The angle cannot be
changed while the vector function is running.
Axis 1 shows combined “X” axis movement
Axis 2 shows combined “Z” axis movement
Axis 3 shows normal position display
