Touch Screen Details
With this software upgrade you will now have all
the great features of your original XPS-16 but will
now have the ability to sharpen below the 118°
point angle range. After the software has been
successfully installed in your XPS-16, your point
angle range will increase. You can now sharpen
drills from 90° - 150°. Please read through the
accompanying operating manual. In addition to
the increase point angle range, there are some
added features you may not be aware of and /or
will need to know to successfully sharpen 90° drill
points.
• Sharpening drills at 90°-117° can only be
sharpened as a CONIC point style, the FACET
point option is disabled.
• You now have the option to bypass the fiber
optic sensor and align the drills cutting edge
manually, see page 21 of the ops
manual. When you choose a point
angle of 90° - 117° your machine will
default to manual alignment. This
requires the operator to manually
align the cutting edge vertically.
(12-o'clock)
When correctly aligned the chisel angle produced
should be between 120° 130°.
• The diameter range is limited to 5mm -16 mm.
• We do not recommend sharpening drills 3mm
to 4mm in diameter at 90°-120°. These drills
are too small. Most of the time, the drill will
miss the MTO2 sensor, triggering an alarm
and causing the machine to stop in cycle and
go home.
• You can choose the Honing option just as
before. A new feature in this software
package is a HONE ONLY option, see
page 21 of the
manual. When hone
only has been chosen
the grind and split
options are disabled.
Manual Alignment
• The diameter detection can be used in Auto
or in Manual as before.
• We recommend that you measure and enter
the web thickness manually. You can
use AUTO Web detection but the
machine will then automatically
calculate 15% of the detected
diameter and register that number as the web
thickness.
• You can select the lip relief amount just as
before. The relief will vary depending on how
accurately the operator aligns the cutting
edge of the drill in the vertical position.
Advancing and retarding the cutting edge
alignment will increase and decrease the
chisel angle and relief respectively.
