4.3.4 Parameters for the lathe counter mode
When the KA counter is used as a lathe counter, it is necessary to modify the related
parameters from their initial values.
Set the required parameters while consulting with the table below.
Parameter No. Parameter Function Setup Data
18 Operating mode 1: Lathe type
40 Setting the diameter display
mode
0: Y-axis
1: X-axis
43 Addition mode As appropriate
50 Switching the count direction As appropriate
51 Switching the scale reference
point detecting direction
As appropriate
91 Minimum reading • X-axis
0: 2
µm (diameter display)
1: 10µm (diameter display)
• Y-, Z-axis
0: 1µm
1: 5µm
*
1
: When the KA counter is used as the lathe counter, since the control method of the
X-axis coordinate differs from the standard counter, the zero-set and preset functions
cannot be used when the ABS coordinate is selected. If this is the case, select the INC
coordinate with key, then conduct the operation. (Refer to “3.3.8 A/I coordinate
system switch”.)
*
2
: When the diameter display mode is selected, the decimal point at the most significant
digit blinks to indicate that the counting value is double.
