will automatically pause at points that require action to
be taken (e.g., change tools). After each task has been completed,
press the GO key.
If the STOP key is pressed once while cutting, the tool will pause in its
cutting path and an Operator Intervention Message will appear. Press
GO
to resume machining, or STOP again to end the program.
Potentiometer for Feedrate Override
Feedrate Override are controlled with the potentiometer which will
change the feed rate by a certain percentage with the knob rotation.
The feed rate percentage will be displayed in the status bar at the top
of the screen. A feed rate percentage of 100% means that actual feed
rates will run at 100% of the programmed feed rates. If the feed rate
percentage is 50%, actual feed rates will run at half of the
programmed feed rates.
Adjustment of the feed rate with the potentiometer can be done at any
time, even while the table or quill is moving.
A 2 axes system requires the Z axis to be moved manually
into position.
If machining is started from the middle of a program,
MILLPWR
G2 will determine which tool should be used,
and will prompt the operator to mount the tool if it is not
mounted. It will also begin at the beginning of the current
path.
