Tool Changes

Whenever you encounter a SET TOOL step, MILLPWR

G2

will display

the DRO screen and let you know which tool to load. If no tool
diameter was programmed in the Tool Step, a prompt will be displayed
to provide one.

Use the Move Table soft key and ARROW keys to move the workpiece
away from the tool.

Insert the required tool into the spindle.

Using the Move Table soft key, position the surface of a known
depth on the workpiece under the tool.

Press the Datum soft key.

Position your tool so that it touches a known surface, then enter that
position into the Z axis.

Press the USE key.

Raise the tool and press the GO key to continue the program.

Clearing the Program

Press the DRO/PGM key to return to the Program mode.

Press the Clear Program soft key.

Press the Yes soft key to confirm exiting the program.

The program is cleared from the screen, and at any time another
program can be loaded or a new program written.

If a program is loaded, and saved, it does not have to be cleared to
open a new program.

If for some reason a program can not be cleared with the
Clear Program

soft key, there is an alternate method.

Cycle the power to the console. While at the home (DRO
mode) screen, prior to finding home, press and hold the
CLEAR

key for 5 seconds.

Follow the instructions to clear the current program.
