(12/32) - DRO operation - Installation/Operation - 20i-T / 30i-T - V0612
Tool change at any known point of the part:
- Touch the part with the tool.
- Go into HOLD mode. The reading for that axis freezes with the current
value.
- Remove the tool to be replaced and insert the new one.
- Approach the new tool to the “freezing” point and touch the part at that point.
- Press this key. The reading “unfreezes” and starts counting from the
previously “frozen” value.
If this key is pressed instead, the DRO will assume half the distance traveled
since [HOLD] was pressed. This is possible when "freezing" only one axis.
2.5.4 Taper (cone) calculation
This DRO calculates the taper angle (cone) of a part by simply touching two of
its points and using these keys.
To do this, follow this procedure:
- Move the tool until it touches the part at any point of the taper.
- Access the angle calculation mode.
- Touch the part with the tool at any other point of the taper.
- Press [ENTER] so the DRO calculates the angle or [C] to cancel the
operation.
The "X" axis display will show the angle in ten-thousandths of a degree
(0.0001º) and the "Z" axis display will do so in degrees, minutes and
seconds.
- Press any key to return to the regular display mode.
