    NK105G3 Titan Series Manual 7.3 - Manually Changing Tools The Titan Series CNC Router is equipped with an HSD automatic Tool Changer spindle. This spindle allows the operator to save time by allowing the machine to change tools during a job, however, the operator may need to change tools manually.

  • Page 28: 2- Using The Automatic Toolchanger Function

    NK105G3 Titan Series Manual 7.3.2 - Using The Automatic Tool Changer Function Besides manually removing and inserting a tool into the spindle of the machine, you may tell the machine to drop off and pick up new tools in the linear rack. To perform an automatic tool change, first ensure that the tool clip for the tool currently in the spindle is empty and that there is a tool in the position you would like to change. Once these checks have been completed, you may now change tools.

    NK105G3 Titan Series Manual 7.5 How to Use all 6 Work Coordinates This controller allows a user to have up to 6 work coordinates saved at a time. They are labeled as G54, G55, G56, G57, G58, and G59. The controller should be automatically set for G54 (work coordinate system 1) because next to X, Y and Z on the main screen should be a number 1.
  • Page 32 NK105G3 Titan Series Manual 7.6 How to Use the Select Line Number Function A file that is currently loaded to the machine may be ran using only certain line numbers of the G-Code if the operator chooses to do so. If the operator accidentally presses STOP, they can use this function to run from the last ran G-code line number (For ex: N100).
  • Page 33 NK105G3 Titan Series Manual USING THE 4TH AXIS ON THE TECHNO TITAN MACHINES: Note: The 4th axis on the Techno Titan machine is not a true 4th axis. You can only use this to do “wrapping” tool paths. This means that the file is designed as a regular, flat, 3-axis file, which is scaled so that the width matches the circumference of round stock.

  • Page 42 NK105G3 Titan Series Manual Notes On the G-code File If a part requires multiple tools, it is best to output a different file for each part. If the G-code file references a tool number higher than T10, then the controller will give an error at the start of the file. M6 T1 to M6 T10 are allowed. In general it is best to remove T commands by telling the CAM package that the machine is not a tool changer machine, or insuring that the Tool number does not exceed 10. G92 is the Axis presetting command, when this command is encountered in the G-code file the XYZ zero position is set at the position the machine is in at that time.
