MILLPWR ®
Operation Manual 2-8
To skew a part or vise:
Using an electronic edge finder
• Press the SKEW softkey.
• Touch off on two or more points along any single straight edge
of your part. You’ll notice the “Points” and “Angle” change as
you enter points.
MILLPWR will calculate the angle to the
closest axis line and compensate for the offset of the workpiece.
• Press the USE key to accept all of the points and return to the
DRO screen. Press the CANCEL key to return to the DRO screen
without accepting any points or affecting your previous skew
angle.
The CLEAR ANGLE softkey will reset the number of points and the skew angle
to zero.
Using teach position:
• Press the SKEW softkey.
• Move the table so that a mechanical indicator rests against any straight edge
on the part. Press the
TEACH POSITION softkey to enter your coordinate.
You’ll notice that the “Points” change.
• Now move the table so that the mechanical indicator touches another point on
the same straight edge. Press the
TEACH POSITION softkey. You’ll notice that the
“Points” and “Angle” change.
Repeat this process for any additional points. MILLPWR will calculate the angle
to the closest axis line and compensate for the offset of the workpiece.
• Press the USE key to accept all of the points and return to the DRO screen.
Press the CANCEL key to return to the previous screen without affecting your
previous skew angle.
The CLEAR ANGLE softkey will reset the number of points and the angle to zero.
Here we used
a workpiece as
an example.
You can also
“touch off” on
a vise or fix-
ture.
