Display Grid
When in PGM mode, and a program is selected, the graphic view of the
part is displayed. A grid overlay can be added to the display. The grid
spacing is defined in this field. The grid spacing is relative to the actual
size of the part, and not the display size.
For an example; if the part size is 3.0 x 3.0 inches, and the selected
grid spacing is .5”, then the grid shown would have 5 horizontal, and
5 vertical lines displayed. If the part size is 6.0 x 6.0 inches, then there
would be 11 horizontal, and 11 vertical lines displayed.
 Select the DISPLAY GRID Spacing field.
 Enter the spacing preferred (e.g. .50”).
 Press the USE key to enter the data.
Travel Limits
Travel limits define how far the table is allowed to move along the X
and Y axes, and how far up and down the Z axis quill can be moved.
When a value is set to zero, then no limit stop is set for that axis.
If a limit setting has been set incorrectly, the operator will be able to
exit, and continue. Pressing the USE key will cause a warning to be
displayed in the Operator Intervention Message display that the limits
were set incorrectly. The limit setting in that axis will return to zero,
and the settings must be re-defined.
The error message must first be cleared from the error log before
returning to the Job Setup dialogue.
Find Home must be established before travel limits can be
set.
When using the Move Table soft key (Jog Mode), all travel
limits are removed. Caution must be taken not to exceed
the actual table travel limits. Damage to the system, or to
the machine could occur.
