10.4 Positioning Mode ("Machine" Menu)

10.4.1 Table Height Positioning in Absolute Mode
After pressing "Start", the height of the table is positioned directly to the value defined in the field "Set".

Figure 20: Setpoint input in absolute mode

• Absolute mode is active when the "Inc" button is visible in the bottom line of the screen and "Abs" appears
in the input fields in the top left-hand corner (see  Figure 20 and  Figure 21).
• Tap on the field "Set:" and enter the desired setpoint, e.g. 100.00 mm (Figure 20).
• Press "Start" to start positioning:
→ The "Set:" field is highlighted in red until the setpoint value "Act:" is reached (see Figure 20).
→ The "Set:" field changes to green as soon as the target position "Act:" is reached (see  Figure 21).
• Press the "Stop" button if you want to cancel the positioning process.
By pressing "Start" again, you can continue the positioning at any time.
Note: When positioning to a setpoint > actual value, this is first overrun by approx. 1 mm and then approached
from below. This serves to compensate for spindle play (loop function).
10.4.2 Table Height Positioning in Incremental Mode
In this mode, positioning is incremental, resp. at each "Start", the dimension entered in the "Set:" field is sub-
tracted from the current actual value. Thus the incremental value defines the depth of cut (max. 8 mm).

Figure 22: Setpoint input in incremental mode

• Press the "Inc." button to change to incremental measurement mode.
• Then tap on the "Set" field and enter the desired incremental setpoint, e.g. 3.00 mm ( Figure 22).
Note: Dimensions resp. chip removal > 8.00 mm are not possible (a short beep sounds).
• Press "Start" to start positioning:
→ The "Set:" field is highlighted in red until the setpoint value "Act:" is reached (see  Figure 22).
→ The "Set:" field changes to green as soon as the target position "Act:" is reached (see  Figure 23).
→ With "Start" this process can now be repeated arbitrarily often.
• Press the "Stop" button if you want to cancel the positioning process.
By pressing "Start" again, you can continue the positioning at any time.
• To return to the absolute mode, press the button "Abs".
