Page 72 This option means the machine movements can be governed by means of an electronic handwheel. To do this the left-hand switch has to be located in one of the positions of the handwheel The positions available are 1, 10 and 100, all of these indicating the multiplication factor applied to the pulses provided by the electronic handwheel.
Page 73 2.4.4 Feed Handwheel 2.4.4 FEED HANDWHEEL Usually, when making a part for the first time, the machine feedrate is controlled by means of the feedrate override switch. From this version on, it is possible to use the machine handwheels to control that feedrate. This way, the machining feedrate will depend on how fast the handwheel is turned.
Page 74 2.4.5 Master Handwheel 2.4.5 MASTER HANDWHEEL With this feature, it is possible to jog two axes at the same time along a linear or circular path with a single handwheel. More handwheels need not be installed on the machine. The one currently installed will be used for the usual work mode and for this feature (Master Handwheel).

Page 76 Executes the subroutine associated with the tool, general machine parameter "TOOLSUB (P60)" Executes function M06 to carry out the tool change. When selecting a new tool in JOG mode or when operating in M mode, the CNC only selects the too in the magazine and executes the associated subroutine.
Page 77 This feature allows the tool change to be made beside the part, thus avoiding movements to a change point farther away from the same. To allow this: Define text 47 of the program 999997 for the CNC to request the coordinates on X, Y and Z of the change point. For example: ;47 $CHANGE POSITION These coordinates should always refer to machine reference zero (home), for the zero offsets not to affect the tool change point.
Page 78 5.- Tool number and its Offset number. 6.- Length and offset values set in the tool offset table. 7.- Nominal life, real life, family and status of the table set in the tool table. To calibrate the tool take the following steps: 1.- Define the tool in the tool table.
Page 79 If the tool is defined, the CNC will display the values stored in the table. If the tool is not defined, the CNC will assign it a offset with the same number and all the data that define the geometry and lengths of the tool will be reset to value 0.
Page 80 "I" and "K" indicate the offset the CNC has to apply to compensate for tool wear. The CNC adds the "I" value to the radius "R" and the "K" value to the length "L" for calculating the real dimensions (R+I) and (L+K) to be used.
Page 81 Approach the tool to the part and touch it with it. Press The tool is now calibrated. The CNC assigns the length "L" corresponding to it and resets its "K" field to "0". The tool radius "R" has to be entered manually.

To store the block or cycle, follow these steps: * Define the desired block or cycle, assigning the relevant data to it.
Page 133 This must be a number between 1 and 899999, and both numbers can be used. * If there is already a part-program with said number, the CNC will display a message at the bottom, asking if this should be replaced or if you wish to cancel the operation.
Page 134 * Use the pointer to select the operation to be moved from the right-hand column. * Press The CNC will display this operation in highlighted text. * Place the cursor after the operation which the operation is to be moved to and press Example: You have Your want 1.- Bidirectional Surface Milling in X...
Page 135 . The new operation will be inserted after this point. * Press If one wishes to place the modified operation in its previous location, the CNC will display a message asking if one wishes to replace the previous operation or keep this, inserting the new one after.
Page 136 Execution and simulation 5. EXECUTION AND SIMULATION Simulation allows graphic reproduction of a part-program or an operation with the data that has been defined. By means of simulation, one can thus check the part-program or the operation before executing or storing this and consequently correct or modify the data: The CNC allows a part-program or any operation to be executed or simulated.
Page 137 Editing mode Execution Mode Simulation The operation or cycle can be simulated in both operating modes. To do this, press The CNC will display the graphic representation page for the M model. Execution An operation or cycle can only be executed in the cycle execution mode.
Page 138 To simulate or execute a part program, proceed as follows: * Press to access the list of the stored part-programs. * Select the program in the left column and the first operation to be executed or simulated in the right column. Press to simulate the part program, and to execute it.
Page 139 If you press the CNC displays the special MC operating mode screen. After selection, the operation or part can be executed as many times as necessary. To do this, after execution once more press During execution of the operation or part one can press to access the graphic representation mode.
Page 140 Press The CNC displays the Tool Calibration screen. It is possible to change the tool dimensions (offsets I,K to compensate for tool wear) or the values for tool geometry. To exit this screen and return to the previous one (while staying in tool inspection) press Resume program execution.
Page 141 Type of graphics. Can be «X-Z» or «Solid X-Z» The «X-Z» graphic is a line graphic which uses colored lines to describe tool tip movement. The «Solid X-Z» graph starts from an initial block. During execution or simulation the tool removes material and the form of the resulting part is seen.
Page 142 To select the percentage use , for the CNC to assume said value, press Colors of the path. This only applies in line graphics (not solid). It enables selection of colors to represent fast feedrate, path with no compensation, path with compensation and threading.
