Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual MDI Teach

MDI Teach

The 3500i MDI also has a Teach mode which allows the operator to be able to manually move the machine and record the positions to be stored into a part program for running. The machine can be manually moved by using the Jog buttons on the control. See "Jog Mode Moves" on page 34.

To enter MDI Teach use the Teach button on the second set of menu bar buttons. This will bring up a dialogue where the operator can select an existing program, or create a new part program to store the positions.

From within the Teach Program file select dialogue. The operator has the option to select a previous part program by navigating to the particular part program to highlight it and touch Ok to accept, or touch the New Program to allow the operator to create a new part program to store the information. Once the new part program is created the Ok button can be used to enter Teach mode with this new program.
