Page 10: Linear Error Compensation
Linear Error Compensation With , you can compensate for machine tool wear. If you know the 100S linear error compensation (LEC) value in parts per million (PPM), you can enter it directly. If you don’t know the LEC, use the formula on the next page to determine the value for each axis. -

Page 15: Operation
OPERATION Power On Position Recovery With the 100S there are two means of position recovery, Position Recall and Reference Mark Evaluation. Position Recall When this feature is active (see setup parameters) the last displayed posi- tion is stored in memory when power is lost or turned off. When power is restored, the stored position is recalled and displayed. -
Page 16: Setting The Datum (Absolute Zero)
OPERATION Setting the Datum (Absolute Zero) allows you to measure both absolute and incremental dimensions. 100S A dimension measured from the point you define as the datum is an absolute dimension. A dimension measured from any other point on your print is an incremental dimension. -

Page 18: Example: Absolute Dimensions
Check that ABS is selected on the DRO display (press the key, if necessary). By selecting ABS, you’re telling ABS/INCR to measure the machine’s movement on the X-, Y-, 100S and Z-axes from your datum (0, 0, 0). • Press the key until “Inches”... -
Page 19: Incremental Dimensions
• Move the table. will display the table’s position in 100S relation to the “0” point(s) for the axis(es) you chose. After you have reached the position you want and have milled the part, you can “zero” each axis again and then measure from that location to... -
Page 20: Example: Incremental Dimensions
Hole 1 is an absolute dimension (measured from the datum), while Holes 2 and 3 are measured incrementally. By putting in the 100S incremental mode for the last two holes, you can measure their distances just as the print specifies, without any calculations. -
Page 21: Using Incremental Presets
0. For instance, if you enter 3.125” as an incremental dimension preset distance, will show -3.125 on the display. As 100S you move the table in the positive count direction, the system will start counting. When the axis display reads “0,” your tool is in the correct position. -

ABS led is lit by pressing the key. Then enter the ABS dimension 6.0 for Hole 3, then ABS/INCR press ENTER 7. Move the table until X = 0.000” and Y = 0.000”. Drill Hole 3. Reference Manual 100S... -
Page 23: Centerline
Centerline With , you can find the centerline (midpoint) between any two 100S positions on your part. You can establish centerline as your datum by using absolute dimensions or you can create a centerline using incremental measurements without affecting your current datum. -
Page 24: Example: Setting The Datum On A Centerline
Press (centerline) key. Press the key, will calculate the center- 100S line between the two points. The display will show the distance from the current position to the centerline. 4. Now follow the same procedure for the Y-axis. -

Page 26: Bolthole Patterns
A bolthole pattern is defined by its number of holes (up to 99), center point, radius, and start angle. will automatically position “Hole 100S 1” at the start angle and space the holes equally throughout the pattern. To create a bolthole pattern: 1. - Page 27 11. Enter the start angle of the first hole in the bolthole pattern. (0 degrees is at the 3 o’clock position.) Use a decimal point and minus (-) sign if necessary. 12. Press to complete the pattern. ENTER Reference Manual 100S...

Page 28: Running A Bolthole Pattern
When you run a bolthole pattern, always assumes that you want to 100S start with the first hole. It will display “Hole 1,” and then the distance to the hole from your tool’s current position. Move the table until it reaches 0, 0. -

REFERENCE Conventions This section identifies the standard conventions that apply to your 100S system. Count Direction uses positive and negative numbers to determine the position of 100S the table and tool on each axis. The graphic below shows a typical setup for the positive and negative count directions for the X-, Y-, and Z-axes on a vertical knee mill. - Page 41 (3) years from the date of purchase.
