At this point the display should say AUTO R in the
menu display and 31.355mm for X. Z should read
0.000 and Y should still read 4.000 mm. If X or Z
do not read these numbers repeat the previous 12
Steps. Otherwise, do these steps:
1.
Move the table in X until the display reads
0.000.
2.
Decide what amount the "step-over" should
be. In this example, we will use .080 mm.
3.
Using the fine down feed hand wheel on the
milling machine, lower the quill until Z reads
0.080 mm.
Notice how the display changes for X as Z
moves?
4.
Move the table in X until the display reads X
of 0.000.
5.
Turn on the spindle and make a pass the
required length in Y. Return the table to Y of
4.000 when finished.
6.
Lower the quill another 0.080 mm.
7.
Move the table in X until the display reads
0.000.
8.
Make a pass in Y. Return the table to Y of
4.000 mm when finished.
Steps 6 – 8 are repeated until Z reaches 20.000.
Figure 10. The display shows Auto R and the start
points for X and Z.
Figure 11. The display for X changes to 0.140 mm
when Z is lowered to -0.080 mm.
Figure 12. The display for X changes to 0.140 mm
when Z is lowered an additional -0.080 mm.
