To obtain the coordinates for 5 holes with a center diameter of 5" using the Newall NMS 300:
1. Enter the center coordinate (refer to using set mode, page 22). 2. Enter the PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) value, which is 5 inches (convert to millimeters if needed). 3. Enter the number of holes, which is 5. 4. Enter the start angle (refer to using set mode, page 22). - Important: The PCD is calculated from the 3 o’clock position, moving anti-clockwise. - If the start angle is given clockwise from 3 o’clock, enter it as a negative value. 5. Navigate through the sequence of holes using the controls or numeric keypad.
The NMS300 will calculate and display the distance to each hole.

Connection details Important Details The NMS300 is only compatible with Newall Spherosyn 300 and Microsyn 300 encoders. It is important to ensure that: Secure all the cables to prevent the connectors from dropping into hazardous positions (for example the floor or coolant tray) when they are unplugged.

The first step in determining the source of error is to check the DRO system. To do this compare the movement of the Newall reader head to the position reading shown on the display. A high accuracy standard, such as a laser interferometer is required. A dial indicator can be used to check short distances, but a laser provides the best results.
Page 11
To check the accuracy of the DRO system: 1. Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head. It is absolutely critical that the readings are taken directly from the Newall reader head. If a dial indicator must be used, be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled.
Setting up the unit Linear Error Compensation In this mode, a single constant correction factor is applied for each axis for all displayed measurements. Calculate the correction factor, and specify it in parts per million (ppm). When following the procedure ensure that a stepped standard is used, and approach each edge from the same direction;...

Setting up the unit Program Mode Program mode allows the linear compensation to be calculated manually and then entered as a PPM val- ue into the NMS300 display. The procedure to do this is shown below: To illustrate the calculation an example is being used where the standard distance is 500.000mm and the measured distance is 500.200mm.
Setting up the unit Segmented Error Compensation The scale travel is broken down into as many as 200 user-defined segments, each with their own correc- tion factor, measured against a high-accuracy standard. The following parameters need to be identified: Each Correction Point is measured with respect to the Starting Point - zero - which is usually set close to one end of the scale.

Setting up the unit Sleep Setup This setting enables the user to define an automatic sleep mode after a period of time.

Mill functions PCD / bolt hole circle To use PCD / bolt hole circle one of the function keys must be assigned to the PCD function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to PCD, (in this example the PCD has been assigned to the F2 key). The NMS300 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes around the circumference of a circle.
Mill functions Line hole To use line hole one of the function keys must be assigned to the line hole function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to line hole, (in this example the line hole has been assigned to the F3 key). The NMS300 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes in a line.
Mill functions Arc contouring To use arc contouring one of the function keys must be assigned to the arc contouring function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to arc contouring, (in this example arc contouring has been assigned to the F4 key). The NMS300 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes in an arc.
Mill functions Pocket / Island Milling To use pocket milling one of the function keys must be assigned to the pocket milling function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to pocket milling, (in this example pocket milling has been assigned to the F1 key). The NMS300 calculates positions for each corner of pocket / island required.
Lathe functions Tool Offsets To use tool offsets one of the function keys must be assigned to the tool offset function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to tool offsets, (in this example tool offsets has been assigned to the F1 key). The NMS300 can store up to 50 tool offsets, this large number allows tools to be grouped where more than one set is used.

Lathe functions Use Mode tool- TL- 01 to select different tool Note: Different tools can be selected by entering the tool number required using the numeric keypad Quick Edit Mode While in the using tool offsets mode tools can be edited / created quickly, without having to go back though the tool program or teach modes.
Lathe functions Taper Turning To use taper one of the function keys must be assigned to the taper function - see the section function keys Press the function key that has been assigned to taper, (in this example taper has been assigned to the F2 key). The taper function shows the angular displacement of the displayed (X,Z) position.
