After the OmniTurn has been installed and all of the cables are connected set Main Power disconnect ON. The Main Power disconnect is located on the Spindle Drive Cabinet at left-hand side of the GT-75 or GT-Jr, as illustrated below.
Press the blue “Servos On” pushbutton. It should illuminate and you should hear a slight hum as the axis motors engage. Press any key to clear the ‘Servos off’ prompt. The OmniTurn is now in “Jog” mode. The only other mode is “Automatic”. Manual Data Input (MDI) is part of Jog mode; a dialog box opens to allow program commands to be manually entered.
Cycle Start to start the homing procedure. The slide will move slowly in +Z, then in -X, seeking the home marks on the motor encoders. When homing is complete, X & Z position indicators will read 0.00000. The following three pages describe the homing procedure in detail.

100% Tool 0 It’s a good practice to send the slide “home” before shutting down the OmniTurn. (To do this, press “H”, then “Z”, then “X”) This makes “Establish Home” very quick when machne is turned on: set Servos ON, then press any key, then press “2” for Medium Jog, then move the slide off the zeros with a quick “left”...
The outside line is used to find a definite location. The encoder will ”see” this line once every revolution of the ball screw used to position the slide. The ball screw used on the OmniTurn moves the slide .200” / revolution. So if the slide is positioned within .200” of what we want to call HOME and then tell the control to slowly rotate the screw while looking for the single pulse we can establish this as an eas- ily repeatable location.
The slide can be manually positioned with the ”Jog stick” actuator on the operator’s panel. Deflecting this actuator in the four directions available produces the following motions: X axis minus = up on GT-75 & Jr; away from you on attachment Down X axis plus = down on GT-75 &...

See page 2.36 for mult-pass thread-milling example. Rapid travel (G00): Rapid travel is 300 inches per minute, which is also the fastest feed rate also. OmniTurn accelerates quickly to 300 ipm, and tool-to-tool distances are generally an inch or two, so transit time between tools is very quick, typically 1/4 - 1/2 second.

M19 - Spindle Positioning: Stop the spindle and lock it at repeatable home position. M25, M26 -User assigned spare M functions (parts catcher on GT-75) A 3 pole double throw relay in the spindle cabinet is controlled by these M-codes. You can wire to this relay for optional live tools or air blast or any other on/off device.

M91, M92, M93, M94 - Wait for input These M-codes stop the program until an input is “on” or “off”. This is useful for coordinating activity for an auto-loader. The OmniTurn ‘waits’ (the program stops, like M00 or M01) until the input is in the correct state.

There are two plane-switched modes: XC and ZC: XC Plane In the XC plane, the Omniturn’s X and C axes work together to trace an X-Y tool path on the face of a part. In this mode the live tool is oriented par- allel to the Z axis.
Page 108
All dimensions in the plane-switched mode are in absolute coordinates. The commands are as follows: (~PLXC): Start XC mode. The tilde character “~” in a (comment) alerts the Omniturn’s parsing program to scan for a plane switching command. (~PLZC): Start ZC mode.
