3. BASIC OPERATIONS
Step 5 Enter 12mm, the distance to the next machining point.
The KA counter corrects the previous positioning error, -0.010mm and displays
the actual distance the machine needs to move to reach the next machining
point.
Step 6 To quit the zero-approach machining function, press the Cancel key.
IMPORTANT
• Do not displace any axis scale during numeric entry. If displaced during entry for
presetting, etc., the scale unit may be damaged due to an overrun.
• Even if the counter exceeds the counting range, Error 30 will not be displayed during
numeric entry. The error message will be displayed after numeric entry has been
completed.
• Do not displace any axis scale too much while numeric entry is being performed.
NOTE
• It is possible to zero-set the counter during the zero-approach mode. However, if the
counter is zero-set, the accumulated error up to that point cannot be corrected.
• If the zero-approach mode is canceled, the display restores the state in which
zero-approach was selected.
• When the zero-approach mode is entered, the counter value remains unchanged.
• The zero-approach data can be set for each coordinate, however, note that it is shared
also as the preset data.
3.2.13 Changing the unit of measurement
It is possible to switch the unit of measurement between mm and inch (1/25.4).
NOTE
The indicator “mm” on the front panel turns on if mm is selected. The indicator turns off if
inch (1/25.4) is selected.
• Changing the unit of measurement
NOTE
When the display ON/OFF switch is turned on, the unit set when the switch was turned
off is selected.
For the accuracy of conversion between mm and inch counts, refer to the table in page
4-5.
