Darex XPS-16 Operating Instructions - Manual (Page 59)

59
The calibration sheet shows all of the values
stored in the machine when it left Darex. Nor-
mally, it is just reference information. If some-
how the machine memory became corrupted
then the data could be used to restore these pa-
rameters (very unlikely). These values are not
changed when grind wheels are changed. The
Wheel Offsets are the values that you should re-
cord and change when replacing grind wheels.
Here is the suggested process:
When the machine comes to you from Darex the
offsets should be dialed in very close. Take a
3/8” diameter test drill, open the Darex file and
sharpen the drill. Adjust the Center and Depth
(using the Wheel Offsets) to give you a “perfect”
split.
Save these Wheel Offsets by going to the Safe
icon
on the second page.
Remember that these Wheel Offsets are only per-
manently saved if you save using the Safe icon.
If the machine is turned off and back on, the
Wheel Offsets from the last save will be loaded.
Now subsequent drills can be sharpened and Drill
files saved knowing that the wheel is in the
proper location. Use the Split Adjustment menu
to adjust splits for these new drills.
When the grind wheel is removed, record the
Wheel Offsets on the backside with a permanent
marker.
Install the new grind wheel, open the Darex file,
grind your test drill and adjust the Wheel Offsets
to get your “perfect” splits. Safe (save) these
offsets.
The grind wheel is now in the proper location
and your Drill files should work the same as
when they were originally saved. Note that
Wheel Offsets are not saved with the Drill file
just the Split Adjustments.
When this wheel is removed, record the Wheel
Offsets on the backside with a permanent
marker.
If the first wheel is put back on the machine,
then change the Wheel Offsets to the values re-
corded on the backside of the wheel and
Safe
(save) these offsets.
Check the performance by opening the Darex file
and grinding the test drill.
Helpful Hint: When getting ready to adjust new
Wheel Offsets, it is best to back off the X and Z
axes a few thousandths in the negative direction
to keep from over-splitting the drill. It is not nec-
essary
to Safe these settings until after the final
adjustment has been made.
