Coordinate freeze (HOLD).
Example:
This features guides the user in the linear drilling operation.
To access the "linear drilling" mode directly
Straight distance (gap) between two consecutive holes.
Number of holes to be drilled (3 in the figure).
Angle in the trigonometric direction.
It enables "freezing" the display of the counter whilst inside it goes on reading
the real position of the axis. This comes about when it is necessary to change
the tool and preset the dimension of the new one.
To change a tool at any known point of the part:
- Touch the part with the tool.
- Go into HOLD mode. The reading for that axis freezes with the current
value.
- Select the axis.
- Remove the tool to be replaced and insert the new one.
- Approach the new tool to the "freezing" point and touch the part at that point.
- Press this key. The reading "unfreezes" and starts counting from the
previously "frozen" value.
If this key is pressed instead, the DRO will assume half the distance traveled
since [HOLD] was pressed. This is possible when "freezing" only one axis.
