Active digital position readout unit, cont'd
Moving past reference Points
The reference points are located near the zero position of
the coarse scale in all three axes.
- Operate M t.t (unless LED is already illuminated).
- Operate @ t.y' LEDs (6) and (9) will light up; actual'
value readout blocked.
- Operate @t.t and the two feed buttons on operator
control panel if reference marks are to be approched at
feed rate.
- Move machine axes (slides) beyond reference marks
consecutively by operating feed control lever and rapid
traverse button: actual-value readouts will start counting
from reference mark; LEDs (9) will be extinguished.
Setting the reference Points
(only in 'manual'mode)
After aligning the machine with the workpiece datum, set
actual-value counters to a reference value, usually zero lref'
erence point = zero point of actual-value readout).
Align in spindle longitudinal direction, for example with a
bore or workpiece edge, by moving end face of tool into
contact with workPiece.
- Align with reference point (in at least one axis)'
- Operate one of the reference point keys (8).
- Operate El t.t (to zero setpoint readout), key refer-
ence value into setpoint readout (5) on keyboard (l) and
use [l key to determine sign.
- Operate transfer key (2) of axis just aligned: keyed-in
value will appear in actual-value readout. Reference
point in this axis is now stored.
- Repeat this procedure in the other axes.
lf several reference points have been set, the actual-value
readout will show the distance from each reference point
upon operating the associated reference point key.
Example
The 4 reference points definable can be stored as shown below
for machining a workpiece.
Fig2
Use reference point @ for workpiece edges in X and Y
axes.
Reference point @l may be assigned to the lst bore in a
row of bores positioned in chain dimensions.
Reference points @ and @ may be assigned to the central
bores of boring patterns.
Refinding reference points
Switch on unit and move past reference marks as described
above.

'rctive digital position readout unit, c-ont'd
Positioning
First set at least one reference point with or without refer'
ence mark evaluation. The position readout will count from
the momentary reference Point.
ln'manual'mode Sl
Use handwheel or pow.er feed to move machine slide(s).
Feed motions
- Operate 'Feed'keY @.
- Operate both feed buttons on operator panel and rapid
traverse but in addition, if required.
Automatic positioning
,odes:'absolute dimensions';
'incremental (chain) dimensions'.
Absolute d imensions: all dimensions, including setpoints,
refer to the reference point in the axis concerned.
lncremental (chain) dimensions: each dimension refers to
the last previous actual position. Setpoint values will be
keyed in as chain dimensions, but actual-value readouts
show absolute dimensions.
Starting situation: 'manual' mode, necessary reference
points already set.
Preparing the positioning operation
- lf 'REF' lamp (6) is still illuminated, operate 'REF' key
to extinguish LED.
- Operate mode key E otE.
- Set feed rate o,n operator control panel and operate feed
buttons.
rosltlOnlng
- Operate CE key (1)
{not required if previous preset value has already been
transfered to an actual-value counter).
- Key in setpoint value on keyboard (1 ) in either absolute
or chain dimensions. depending on mode selected.
- Operate transfer key X, Y or Z (21 .
- Engage feed control lever in accordance with external
axis and direction indicator (Fig 3): axis will start mov-
ing and stop in setpoint position.
- Disengage feed control lever (move lever to middle posi-
tion).
Any positioning operation can be interrupted by means of
El n.t (131. To resume the positioning operation, again
operate transfer key in the axis concerned.
To change the direction of a motion, disengage feed control
t.ver, key in new position and then operate transfer key in
,e axis concerned.
E 9O2a ( 12.81)
lmportant
lf a 'chain dimension' positioning operation is interrupted
by means of 'stop' button (13), the actual position at that
point will be the reference point for the next positioning
operation in chain dimension.

The external axis and direction indicator (Fig 3) is con-
nected in parallel with the digital readout unit. lt shows
the operator the direction of feed selected and thus indi-
cates which feed control lever has to be moved in what
direction.
lmportant
Always move all feed control levers to zero position before
any change in mode or operating any of the transfer keys
X,Y,Z.

Active digital position readout unit, cont'd
Tool radius compensation
The active digital readout unit permits tool radius compen'
sations with the aid of keys (10). This requires the input
of the cufter diameter.
Proceed in the following order:
- Use keyboard ( l) to key cutter diameter into setpoint
readout (5).
- Operate t.v E (10) : the control will calculate the cut-
ter radius. This will then appear in setpoint readout (5)
and will be stored automatically.
- Key in setpoint on keYboard (l).
- Operate either E key {10) to add cutter radius or p
( I 0) to subtract cutter radius from setpoint value (5).
- When operating tool compensation keys twice, the full
diameter will be either added or subtracted, for example
for machining the opposite wall of a pocket.
- Transfer to actual-value counters and automatic position'
ing as described above.
Fault diagnosis
ln the event of faults or defects, the active digital readout
unit will automatically give diagnosis readouts.
- Measuring system defective:
associated actual-value counter will start flashing. To
cancel diagnosis readout, switch off power supply,
remedy fault and restart the unit-
- Defect in electronics:
LEDs above reference point keys will light up.
To cancel diagnosis readout, switch off power supply.
lf fault diagnosis reappears after switching off and on
again, return digital readout unit for repair (state LEDs
lighting up).
- Positioning error:
if feed control lever is moved in wrong direction for a
selected positioning operation. the feed motion will be
switched off after 200 pm. Actual-readout (7) will show
'u'symbols.
To cancel diagnosis readout, operate E4 t.v, then rnove
feed control lever in correct direction.
Caution
Never remove or insert plugs while unit is energized.
Additional setup and maintenanpe instructions, as well as
examples of operating the unit, will be found in the oper'
ator's manual supplied with the digital position readout
unit.

Switching on
Switch on machine (main disconnect switch) and digital
readout unit (switch on rear side of housing).
At f irst all LEDs and readouts will light up (lamp test).
Setpoint readout: 88888888
Actual-value readout + 18888888
After approx 1.5 sec the actual-value readouts (counters)
will show the position values assigned to the reference
marks by def ining the reference point [] before the unit
was switched off.
(All scales are provided with a reference mark in addition
to the scale divisions.l
- The readouts will count in the measuring system (mm or
inch) last used. lf required, operate 'inch' key (1 1 )-
- Check resolution (smallest increment shown) in active-
value readouts (71. operatinS key (12) if required.
Move past reference marks if reference points are to be set
reproducibly or previously set reference points are to be
reproduced after switching the readout unit off and later
on again (for details see below).
