Before running a program step, check the Status bar (located along the
top of the MILLPWR
G2
screen) to ensure that the tool identified by
MILLPWR
G2
matches the tool in the spindle. If there’s no tool
identified, or if it’s incorrect, start with a SET TOOL step that
accurately identifies the tool that is to be used.
To move quickly to a step, use the up/down ARROW keys to highlight the
required step, or just enter a step number using the numeric keypad.
A Goto program line number popup dialogue is immediately
displayed. The total number of lines in the program are shown in the
Line Count: field.
 Enter the desired line number and press ENTER.
 Press ENTER or USE again to to edit the program step.
After highlighting the step to begin with, press the GO key. An Operator
Intervention Message may ask to confirm that the tool is correct.
Confirm that the correct tool is being used, then press the GO key again
to begin milling.
If the tool is positioned above the Z axis retract position before running
a program, the table will rapidly move to position, and then the quill will
rapidly move to the retract position. If the tool is below the retract
position, the quill will move first.
Once the quill has reached its retract position, it will rapidly move to
the BEGIN depth then move at the programmed feed rate to the End
depth.
If the upper travel limit for the Z axis is set below the established
retract position, a travel limit fault will occur and the program will stop.
A 2 axes system requires that the quill be raised manually
before pressing GO.
The remote STOP/GO switch acts as a pause switch if the
table is moving, and as a GO switch if the machine is
paused or stopped.
