2 Manual Working Mode
Initial notes:
The machine will only work within the positive quadrant of the global co-ordinate system that is also
referred to as a physical co-ordinate system.
If the user attempts to travel toward negative physical coordinates, the system will generate an
appropriate error message.
The coordinates displayed on the LCD display are operator's coordinates corresponding to the datum
point of a local co-ordinate system.
The datum point of a local co-ordinate system can be adjusted, in relation to the global co-ordinate
system.
The following working ranges apply:
o
Linear coordinates:
o
Angular coordinates:
2.1 Travel
2.1.1 Manual Travel
Intended use: This function is responsible for travelling the working bit of the machine in a specific direction,
and according to a specific turning movement, by pressing and holding one of the keys included in the
directional keypad (see Fig. 1). This function will not be available, once the user has entered a window
dedicated to a selected operation (e.g. travel by a specific value).
2.1.2 Travel by a specific value
Intended use: This function is responsible for travelling the working bit of the machine by a specific value,
along a single axis or many axes simultaneously.
Access path: Manual Mode [R] -> Travel -> By the value of
Screen:
Course of action:
1) Select a specific direction and turn during travel, by pressing an appropriate key included in the
directional keypad (see Fig. 1).
o
The entry window dedicated to the selected axis of travel will be displayed.
2) Enter the required value of travel, using the numeric keypad ([DEL] – Deletes the entered character;
[ESC] – Cancels the option of entering a value).
3) Accept the entered value, by pressing [ENT].
4) Declaration of movement for another axis – go back to item 1.
Physical coordinates = <0 to 999.995>;
Operator's coordinates = <-999.995 to 999.995>;
