Setting Up The Unit Direction of Travel Setup You use the direction setting to match the DP700 to the actual direction of travel of any axis. There are two settings for each axis ---i i--- Press the axis select key next to the ‘X’, ‘Y’...
To check the accuracy of the DRO system: 1. Place the target of the laser or the needle of the dial indicator directly on the Newall reader head. It is absolutely critical that you take the readings directly from the Newall reader head. If you have to use a dial indicator, be sure that the needle of the indicator is perpendicular to the reader head and not angled.
As you follow the procedure you must ensure that you either use a stepped standard, and approach each edge from the same direction; or if you must approach each edge from opposite directions, then subtract the width of the tool or measuring probe from the value displayed on the DP700. Tool or Tool or...
Teach mode and Program mode. Teach Mode Teach mode is an easier way of calculating linear errors by using the DP700 to automatically calculate the error, by comparing the actual measurement and the physical movement.
Setting Up The Unit Segmented Error Compensation The scale travel is broken down into as many as 200 user-defined segments, each with their own correction factor, measured against a high-accuracy standard. The following parameters need to be identified: Starting point - zero Error Travel Correction points...
Move each axis to the reference point and then press next to the axis in question Once all axes have been reset to reference the DP700 will go into normal operating mode Plane Setup This setting enables the user to choose the plane in which certain functions will operate. The plane consists of two axes that require to be set for certain functions to operate correctly.
Setting Up The Unit Functions Setup This setting enables the user to choose the functions that are required to be used with the DP700. Functions that are switched off will not show in the function menu or message display. Function On Function Off...
Sleep Mode Active Enter the required value via the numeric keypad, Press to accept the value. Note: The number in the display is the value in whole minutes before the DP700 will enter sleep mode. Reset Setup This setting enables the user to reset the DP700 unit back to factory defaults.
Absolute (abs) mode has been selected The DP700 has a dedicated key to switch the positional displays between absolute (abs) and incremental (inc) measurements. The current display mode is indicated by Incremental (inc) mode has a red LED either above or below the key as shown right.

Set-Up of a workpiece is carried out only one time. When the DP700 is powered on, it displays the position at power off, compensated for any movement of a Spherosyn transducer up to 0.2500" (6mm) and a Microsyn encoder up to 0.1000"...
Standard Functions Sub Datums / Memory The DP700 can store up to 200 SDM (Sub-Datum) positions, or machining steps into the memory. Using SDM allows the operator to work to zero by calling up stored dimensions, instead of "working up" to drawing dimensions. This eliminates the need to constantly refer to the drawing, and reduces the possibility of scrapping parts due to misread dimensions.
RS232 Connections You connect the RS232 to the DP700 via a 15-pin D-type connector at the rear of the display. The required connection details to make this possible are shown below.

Mill Functions This chapter details the Mill functions of the DP700. The mill functions use the plane setting from setup. PCD / Bolt Hole Circle The DP700 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes around the circumference of a circle. The message display prompts the user for various parameters it needs to do the calculations.
Mill Functions Line Hole The DP700 calculates positions for a series of equally spaced holes on a line. The message display prompts the user for various parameters it needs to do the calculations. Once the DP700 completes the calculations, the axis displays show the distance to each hole.
Mill Functions Arc Contouring The DP700 calculates positions for rough machining an arc or radius. The message display prompts the user for various parameters it needs to do the calculations. Once the DP700 completes the calculations, the axis displays show the co-ordinates, which are point to point positions along the arc.
Mill Functions Polar Co-ordinates The Polar co-ordinate function enables the operator to convert the displayed data from the conventional cartesian co-ordinates (X,Y) to polar (length + angle) co-ordinates for any plane XY,XZ or YZ. See example below. How to navigate to Polar co-ordinate function. a 116.56 Until message display shows r 22.361...
Lathe Functions This chapter details the Lathe functions of the DP700. Tool Offsets The Tool Offset function allows the operator to enter and store offsets for a range of tools.This enables the operator to change tools without resetting absolute zero or datum. Using tool offsets ensures that diameter and length measurements will remain consistent after tool changes.This speeds up tool changes and increases productivity as it eliminates the need for...
