3. BASIC OPERATIONS
Step 3 Perform trial machining using the tool number 1. After moving the tool aside,
measure the diameter of a workpiece with a caliper or a micrometer, then preset
the measured value. Here, set 50.000 as the measured value. This completes
the tool offset of tool number 1.
Step 4 Switch the offset tool number to 2.
Press the 2 key to select tool number 2. Tool number 2 will be displayed.
Step 5 Perform trial machining using the tool number 2. After moving the tool aside,
measure the diameter of the workpiece with the caliper or the micrometer, then
preset the measured value. Here, set 45.263 as the measured value.
Step 6 From this point, repeat the tool presetting procedure for the necessary tools.
Press the key or the Cancel key to quit the tool offset mode.
NOTE
If a tool wears from machining, the counter display may deviate. If this is the case, set
up the tool offset again only for the worn tool.
If tool offset setup has been completed, the counter will display correct values.
3.3.5 Count mode
After the tool offset value is set or the coordinate is restored, the KA counter does display
the correct values. This allows you to perform the machining easily.
Before commencing your machining note the following points for improving the efficiency
of operation.
NOTE
• There are two coordinate displays; ABS coordinate and INC coordinate. The ABS
coordinate shows the diameter of a workpiece using the center of the workpiece as the
reference point. The reference point of the INC coordinate can be optionally translated.
In general, the INC coordinate is used to display the cutting depth based on the result of
zero-setting on the workpiece surface.
• Choose the tool number that corresponds to the actually used tool. Machining with a
wrong tool number will result in an inaccurate machining.
