Taper Calculator Soft Key
Use the taper calculator to calculate taper angle. Refer to screen
examples on the right.
You can calculate tapers either by entering dimensions from a print, or
by touching a tapered workpiece with a tool or indicator.
Entry values:
For the taper ratio, calculation requires:
„ Length of the taper
„ Change in the radius of the taper.
For taper calculation using both diameters (D1, D2) and
length requires:
„ Starting diameter
„ End diameter
„ Length of the taper
Using Taper Calculator
8 Press the CALC soft key: The soft key selection now changes to
include the taper calculator functions.
8 To calculate the taper angle using two diameters, and length
between, press the taper: di/D2/l soft keys.
8 First taper point, diameter 1, either enter a point using the numeic
keys and press enter, or touch the tool to one point and
press TEACH.
8 Repeat this for the diameter 2 field. When using the TEACH key, the
taper angle is automatically calculated. When entering data
numerically, enter data into the length field, and press ENTER: The
taper angle will appear in the angle field.
8 To calculate angles using the ratio of the diameter, change to length,
and press the taper: RATIO soft key.
8 Using the numeric keys, enter data into the ENTRY 1, and
ENTRY 2 fields.
8 Press ENTER after each selection: The calculated ratio, and the
angle will appear in their respective fields.
