  • Page 4: Fundamentals

    Fundamentals You can skip this chapter if you are already familiar with Graduation coordinate systems, incremental and absolute dimensions, nominal positions, actual positions and distance-to-go. Coordinate system To describe the geometry of a workpiece, the Cartesian* coordinate –X Datum or system is used.
  • Page 5 Datum setting The workpiece drawing is used as the basis for machining the workpiece. To enable the dimensions in the drawing to be converted into traverse distances of machine axes X, Y and Z, each drawing dimension requires a datum or reference point on the workpiece 216,5 (since a position can only be defined in relationship to another position).
  • Page 6 Absolute workpiece positions Each position on the workpiece is uniquely defined by its absolute coordinates. Absolute coordinates of position 1: Example 10 mm 5 mm 0 mm If you are working according to a workpiece drawing with absolute dimensions, then you are moving the tool to the coordinates. Relative workpiece positions A position can also be defined relative to the previous nominal position.
  • Page 7 Nominal position, actual position and distance-to-go The position to which the tool is to move is called the nominal position ( ). The position at which the tool is actually located at any given moment is called the actual position ( The distance from the nominal position to the actual position is called the distance-to-go ( Sign for distance-to-go...
  • Page 8 Position encoders The position encoders on the machine convert the movements of the machine axes into electrical signals. The ND display unit evaluates these signals, determines the actual position of the machine axes and Workpiece displays the position as a numerical value. If the power is interrupted, the relationship between the machine axis positions and the calculated actual positions is lost.
  • Page 9 Switch-On, Traversing the Reference Marks Turn on power (switch located on rear panel). REF and decimal points in status display blink. ENT...CL Confirm reference traverse mode. REF remains on continuously. Decimal points blink. Cross over the reference marks in all axes (in any sequence).
  • Page 10: Datum Setting

    Datum Setting Datum setting with the tool Example: If you want to save the datum points in nonvolatile memory, you must first cross over the reference marks. Working plane X / Y Only after crossing over the reference marks can you set new datums Tool axis or activate existing ones.

  • Page 14: Moving The Axes With Distance-To-Go

    Moving the Axes with Distance-To-Go Display Normally, the display shows the actual position of the tool. However, it is often more helpful to display the distance remaining to the nominal position (the distance-to-go). You can then position simply by moving the axis until the display value is zero.
  • Page 15 Move the machine axis to zero 1. Select the axis, enter the nominal value, e.g. 30 mm, select radius compensation R–, and confirm with ENT. Move the machine axis to zero 2. Select the axis, enter the nominal value, e.g. 50 mm, select radius compensation R+, confirm with ENT.
  • Page 16: Bolt Hole Circles And Bolt Circle Segments

After the start, the distance-to-go mode becomes active (∆ symbol lights up). The hole number is shown briefly in the X axis. The individual holes are reached by traversing to zero.
  • Page 19: Linear Hole Patterns

    Linear Hole Patterns The linear hole pattern feature allows you to easily create rows of holes to cover an area. The required data are requested in the message field. You can position to each hole by traversing to display value zero. The following data are required: •...

  • Page 22: Working With A Scaling Factor

    Working with Scaling Factors Scaling factors enable you to increase or decrease the display values based on the actual traverse distance. The display values are changed symmetrically about the datum. Enter scaling factors separately for each axis in parameter P12. Parameter P11 activates and deactivates the scaling factors in all axes (see “Operating Parameters”).
