Machine reference (home) search Setup Home search Select axis. A red bar appears on that axis display indicating that it is waiting for a reference pulse. Move the selected axis until the DRO detects the reference mark. A green checkmark appears next to the axis display when the reference mark is properly detected (homed) and the axis display will show the position value preset in parameter "user offset", (see Reference).
2.4.1.3 Tool compensation This DRO offers a function for compensating tool radius depending on the machining direction. Tool compensation on /off in this direction: Tool compensation on /off in this direction: Tool compensation on /off in this direction: Tool compensation on /off in this direction: When machining pockets, tool radius compensation is activated in two axes at the same time.
2.4.2.1 Changing the reference Change Reference Changing from one reference to another. Tool Nr. It changes to the selected reference. 2.4.2.2 Setting part zero (datum) as instructed by the assistant: Change Reference Origin Setting part zero requires measuring at least 2 points. One point on each of the sides to be homed.
2.4.2.3 Setting part zero (datum) without using the assistant Change Reference Set a datum point at a corner other than the 3rd quadrant. Compensate for tool radius on the X axis. Touch with the tool on the side indicated in the figure. Set the X axis to zero.
Special functions Function It gives access to the specific milling functions. 2.5.1 Bolt-hole drilling Function Bolt-hole drilling It allows up to 99 holes to be drilled in a bolt-hole pattern in different planes (XY, XZ, YZ) without having to calculate the coordinates (X Y) of each hole, by simply keying in some basic data.
Alpha: Inclination of the matrix of holes. N 1: Nr of holes along the X axis. N 2: Nr of holes along the Y axis. Go to 2.5.4 Function Go to This function is the alternative to the most commonly used positioning method consisting in presetting an incremental zero at a point and moving the axis until the display shows the desired coordinate.
2.5.6 Simulation / execution special modes After completing the data that define a drilling cycle, you can execute the cycle or simulate it to verify that data entered is correct. 2.5.6.1 Cycle simulation Function Bolt-hole drilling Function Show Graph Linear drilling Grid pattern drilling The simulation may be seen in the following modes: tool movement, views and sections or 3D.
2.5.6.2 Cycle execution Pressing the Run key, the DRO shows the distance the axes must move to position at the first hole. Move the axes to zero. . The status bar indicates the number of the current hole and the total number of holes programmed in the cycle.
The probe stores the data about the probed points in a USB memory. The probing data may be read and processed at a PC. The file containing the probed points is: FAGOR/DRO/PROBE/probe.csv The format of the generated file is “csv” (comma separated values) and may be easily imported into a spreadsheet.
3 DRO operation in LATHE mode Display modes 3.1.1 2/3 axes Display 2/3 axes Toggle the reading of the second axis between Z (Z1 + Z2), Z1 or Z2, when the DRO has been set for 3- axis lathe. When it has been set by parameter to only display the Z axis, this key toggles between displaying 2 axes (X, Z) and displaying 3 axes (X, Z1, Z2).
3.1.4.2 Incremental mode The coordinate is referred to the previous point where the axis display has been set to zero. Set the dro in incremental mode. Set a floating zero (Z=0) at point A. Preset the value “22.6” for the Z axis. Run several passes moving the Z axis from “0“...
3.2.1.1 Setting the tool by touching a part of known diameter Enter tool number. Press Enter. Move the X axis until the tool touches the part. Preset the part diameter. Move the Z axis until the tool touches the part. Preset the value for the Z axis.
Special functions Function It gives access to the specific lathe functions. 3.3.1 Angle measurement Function Angle measurement It may be used to calculate the angle or taper of a part by touching two points. Touch the first point and press Enter. Touch the second point and press Enter.
3.3.3 Threading function Function Threading This function helps you making threads of various pitches on a lathe. This function is only available on machines that have an encoder on the leadscrew. Refer to section 4.6.5 "Threading" on page 35 to see how to install the encoder and set the relevant parameters.
- The operator has the chance to clutch the axis every time the rectangles are aligned one of top of the other. If the operation has been properly done, the green bar will be at 100 %. - For finishing the thread, we do recommend engaging the machine in the same color as the previous cycle, to improve the final result of the thread.
4 DRO installation There are two ways to mount the Innova 40i: 1- Mounted on the support arm. 2- Built-in model. Mounting on the support arm The DRO may be mounted at the desired height and may be oriented at will.

Axes option: Setup Setup Install Axes These parameters must be set for each axis. 1- Combine axes: It is possible to add/subtract any axis to/ from another axis. The factory setting is NO. Rotary axes cannot be combined. 2- Display resolution: It is the resolution of the DRO. It makes it possible to display the position with a coarser resolution than that of the feedback device, although the actual internal calculation is done with the finest resolution.
FAGOR Setup Setup Feedback Install Selecting Fagor feedback knowing the name or model of the linear encoder. Select axis. Select type of linear encoder, type of signal and type of reference pulse. To validate the data for that axis. Custom feedback selection:...

1Vpp or TTL with distance-coded reference marks. Example: We wish to install a FAGOR GP linear encoder (1 Vpp and 20-micron-pitch graduated glass) with 1 micron resolution: Graduation pitch (20, 40 or 100 µm)
Reference Setup Setup Reference Feedback Install This window sets the parameters related to home search and the type of reference mark of the encoder. This configuration must be set for each axis. * User offset: Offset of the reference point with respect to the reference zero of the feedback device, independent for each axis.
Important Before capturing data for an accuracy graph, a home search must be carried out because the compensation will not be applied until the home search is done. To use this compensation, it is recommended to force a home search on power-up.
4.6.5 Threading 4.6.5.1 Installation Instructions To install the threading feature onto a lathe you will first have to attach an encoder to the end of the ballscrew/ leadscrew. First off you will need to locate the end of the ballscrew/leadscrew. You will need to expose the end of the ballscrew/leadscrew so that you can attach the encoder to it.
4.6.5.2 Parameters for the threading function In Feedback properties set Z2 as Rotary axis type (Z2 reads the pulses of the encoder connected to the leadscrew in the lathe). Then, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the configuration of Z2: number of pulses of the encoder and the leadscrew pitch of the lathe in millimeters or inches.
