There are Q Assist routines named 0145,0146 and 0155 designed by Sodick to make
operation easier. Use these programs to pickup the center of a hole or shape. Be sure
DRY = 0, WS=2and WT=8 and the pickup surface is burr-free, clean and dry and scale is
1000
1) Thread the wire through the opening and confirm that it is not touching the workpiece.
2) Go to the “MAL”, “MDI” screen .
3) Type Q0145 or Q0146 or Q0155 and press “ENTER”
a) 0146 and 0155 programs will prompt you to input a value. “ENTER” a value
that is smaller than the radius of the hole.
4) When the routine is finished the wire will be positioned perfectly in the center of the
opening.
5) Press the “ACK” key.
NOTE:
Q0145(2.0,4.0) will set the axis display to X2.0000 Y4.0000.
G26 cannot be used to rotate these programs.
These programs can also be run from memory instead of using the Q in “MAL” “MDI”.
