To make this manual easier to understand, we included these explanations
of terms and symbols:
All explanations, illustrations, and charts presented are based on
standard CNC functions. Operations may differ from the basic
information provided in this manual depending on the configuration of
the machine tool. For details, refer to the manuals prepared and supplied
by the system installer.
Some of the softkey functions may be purchased as optional features.
This manual assumes that all of the optional features have been
purchased.
Explanations and illustrations are presented based on the movement of
the cutting tool on a fixed workpiece.
The control allows the use of any alphabetic character for expressing a
numerically controlled axis. This manual uses X, Y, and Z for the first,
second, and third axes on the basic coordinate system respectively. I, J,
and K represent the integrand words for the axes.
The term AMP is an abbreviation for Adjustable Machine Parameters.
These parameters are used to configure a control to a specific machine.
Setting of AMP is usually done by the system installer.
Key names designated between the [ ] symbols are found on the
operator panel.
Key names designated between the { } symbols are softkeys found
below the CRT.
Switch and button names on the standard MTB panel are designated
between the < > symbols.
