3. BASIC OPERATIONS
After the buzzer sounds off, the counter automatically returns to normal counting.
IMPORTANT
• When detecting the scale reference point move the worktable at a traveling speed of
50mm/s or less. If the worktable is moved faster than 50mm/s, the measuring error will
increase.
• When saving the scale reference point, be sure to remember the following two points. In
order to recall the machining datum point, the same scale reference point that was
saved must be used.
1. Which coordinate system, ABS or INC, was used?
2. The position of the machine table for both the X- and Y-axis when the buzzer
sounded.
• After saving the scale reference point, if an operation is performed which translates the
origin of the coordinate system such as zero-set or preset, the origin data is also
automatically offset corresponding to the translation.
• Perform scale reference point save and recall operation for the X- and Y-axis separately.
• Do not displace any axis scale during numeric entry. If displaced during entry for
presetting, etc., the scale unit may be damaged due to an overrun.
• Even if the counter exceeds the counting range, Error 30 will not be displayed during
numeric entry. The error message will be displayed after numeric entry has been
completed.
• Do not displace any axis scale too much while presetting is being performed.
2) Recalling the scale reference point
With this operation, the machining datum point at the time the power was turned off is
recalled from the origin data saved in the KA counter.
IMPORTANT
• This operation should be performed for the coordinate (1 to 9) for which the scale
reference point was saved. If scale reference point recall operation is performed for one
coordinate, the machining datum point for the remaining coordinates will also be
recalled automatically.
• The scale reference point should be recalled at the beginning of work just after the
power has been turned on.
• Recalling the machining datum point from the scale reference point in X-axis direction.
Step 1 Call up the saved origin data, and after detecting the scale reference point,
perform the key operation to start counting.
