Manually Positioning the Quill
Programs that do not include a BEGIN depth will require the operator
to manually position the Z axis during machining. The same is true
when the Z axis has been disengaged during setup.
If an END depth is programmed, when it is time to manually position
the Z axis, a preset value will be displayed in the Z axis display. The
DRO screen will appear, along with the prompts shown.
An example of an Operator Intervention Message (OIM) similar to the
one shown to the right will appear.
Manually move the Z axis incrementally until 0.0000 is displayed for
the Z axis.
For additional information regarding 2 Axes operation see "Operating
in 2 Axes and 3 Axes Modes" on page 9
When multiple passes are required, in this example the
complete program can be run for each pass. It may also
be necessary to repeat a set of steps for each pass in a
program (e.g. milling a pocket).
