machine is not in operation and corresponding equipment is in “off” position.

3.1 Lubricants and Detergents

Detergent

Use commercially available detergents.

Don’t use any acids or alkaline solutions

Don’t use any high pressure water jet cleaners

3.3 Cleaning the Guide Rail

Remove chips, grease and any items on the conveyor/table that would be

deemed in the pathway of, or causing an unwanted obstruction of, the

carriage/gang stop. This should be done several times per day if the machine

is in heavy use.

3.4 Cleaning the Magnetic Tape

Remove chips and grease on the magnetic tape and between reader head and

tape. This should be checked daily to ensure there is no development of debris

or obstruction. If heavy chip or debris accumulation occurs, increase frequency

to accommodate suitable maintenance measures.

The sensor to scale gap should be within the range of 0.1mm to 1.0mm

3.5 Cleaning the carriage

Remove chips, grease and any items on the conveyor/table/measuring surface

that would be deemed in the pathway of, or causing an unwanted obstruction

of, the carriage/contact plate. This should be done several times per day if the

machine is in heavy use.

Ensure that the hardware connecting the contact plates to the carriage is

secured. This may be checked on a quarterly basis or implemented in line with

the standard preventative maitneance schedules for the other equipment in

the facility.

3.6 Cleaning the contact plates

Wipe down plates and remove any dirt, grime, or moisture.

Apply a liberal coat of oil (3-n-1 oil or similar) to every exposed surface of the

contact plates to prevent corrosion.

4 DRO Operation

P: Program (programming/change parameters)

: UP (increase value of selected digit)

: Shift left (select digit)

*: Save (save data)

4.1 Setting Datum (Referencing the system)

By setting the datum or referencing the system, the operator is setting up the system so

that the distance from the moving contact plate to the stationary contact plate is correctly

displayed in the digital readout.

NOTE: Your datum value needs to be set before performing this function.

See “4.2 Entering / changing datum value”

1. Move the stop to a known location using a standard or other suitable method.

2. Press the *button for 3 seconds.

3. The display will show “rESEt”

4. Press the * button again to show the current position flashing. Note: at this point the

referencing can be cancelled by pressing “P”

5. Press the * button again to confirm the reference reset by displaying “done”

momentarily. This will set the display to the pre-entered datum value.

4.2 Entering / changing datum value

Push Pand buttons together to display datum value “rEF’. Use and keys to change

value and save with *button.

This feature is only enabled if “F_rEF” parameter is set to “on” (see chapter 5).

4.3 Setting the Display Mode (Toggle from inch to metric)

The display can be easily changed to display inch or metric values by pressing the button

for 3 seconds. Note: inch mode with 3 decimals or fraction display must be selected in

parameter Inch_F (see chapter 5).

4.4 Changing from Absolute Measuring to Incremental Measuring

The display can be changed from absolute measuring (unit displays actual distance from saw

blade) to incremental or relative measuring (unit displays distance from last position).

Pressing the Pand *buttons together toggles these modes.

Note: INC is shown in the display when the unit is running in incremental mode.

Note: Setting the display to zero in incremental mode is not affecting the real absolute value

5. DRO Parameter Mode

5.1 Entering Parameter Mode

Press Pbutton for 3 seconds to enter setup mode. “SEtUP” will be shown in the display.

Press button to enter Menu 1 (parameter mode)

5.2 Editing Parameters

Press Pbutton to select next Parameter and Parameter setting.

Press *button to save entered values

5.3 How to exit Parameter Mode

Press Pbutton until you reach final parameter rESEt.

Now press Pbutton twice to return to operating mode.

5.4 Parameter List

Parameter description Factory Setting User Setting

dG_Ln Degrees/Linear (dG, dG2, Lin) Lin __________

Angular or linear display mode.

Lin = ..0,0..0,1..0,2..0,3 mm

dG1 = angles

..–0,1°..0,0°..+0,1°..+359,9°..0,0°

dG2= angles

..359,9°..0,0°..0,1°..359,9°..0,0°

*= save, P = next parameter

Note: when selecting dG1 or dG2 the next

available parameter will be FrEE not rES.

rES Resolution (10, 50, 100, 1000, FrEE) 10 __________

Linear resolution value in microns.

10 = 0.01mm

50 = 0.05 mm

100 = 0.1 mm

1000 = 1 mm

FrEE allows to enter a resolution factor e.g.

for angular displays (basis of calculation is

max. resolution 0.01 mm).

*= save, P = next parameter

FrEE Ln mode (0,0001, 1,0000) - __________

FrEE dG mode (0,0001, 9,9999)

e.g. angle display with range from 0° to 90°

and 0,1° resolution on a rotating table with

circumference of 785,4 mm. Total working

range is 785,4 mm : 4 = 196.35 mm.

FrEE = 900 : 19635 = 0,045836

*= save, P = next parameter
