Page 14: Shrink Function
TOP-10 Digital Readout Shrink Function Plastic objects will shrink after the plastic is injected into the mold, so the mold must be enlarged or shrunk according to the shrinkage rate. Set up shrinkage rate. It is important to set the shrinkage rate correctly. The calculated result is obtained by multiplying the input data by the shrinkage rate. -

Page 22: Simple-R (Radius)
TOP-10 Digital Readout Simple R Cutting a 90º radius is very simple if you have a CNC machine. However, the TOP-10 DRO provides an easy method to perform 90º radius cuts using your conventional mill. Here are common 8 types of radius, internal & external which can be done with the assistance of the TOP-10 DRO. - Page 23 TOP-10 Digital Readout Radius, R Tool Diameter Tool compensation External: R + Tool Diameter Internal: R -Tool Diameter XZ/YZ Plane – XY Plane – Max Cut (or Z-Step) XY Plane R (Plane Radius): -- when milling an R-radius on the XY Plane, the maximum cut between two interpolated points is the machining step increment and it is also the MAX.
- Page 24 TOP-10 Digital Readout XZ/YZ Plane R – under Smooth-R option, the Z step or incremental step will be automatically calculated so that the maximum distance between each machining point is approximately the same. ------ MAX CUT = max. distance between interpolated points Example: Milling a radius of R = 7.87”...
