PROGRAMMING

MILLPWR

®

The tool path should be proofed prior to attempting to machine a part on

MILLPWR

.

Most CAD/CAM Software packages have this ability. When a program has been
proofed and loaded into

MILLPWR

, lower the knee and dry run the program to verify the

tool path and speeds and feeds are correct.

Starting and Stopping a G-code Program
Always start the program from a place in the program where the feed rate, X-, Y-, and
Z-axis position are known, such as a tool step. Alternate starting points can be pro-
grammed by placing the proper code in the desired locations.

Pressing the

GO

button will cause

MILLPWR

to begin executing the current G-code pro-

gram. Always insure the program step highlighted is an appropriate starting point.

When a program is running, pressing the

STOP

button or the remote pendant will cause

the program and all axis motion to pause. Pressing the remote pendant switch again or
the

GO

button will cause the program to resume. Pressing the

STOP

button a second

time will halt the program execution.
