Z/W Coupling
Z/W Coupling (4 axes Milling)
The 300S Milling application provides a quick method for coupling the
Z and W axes positions on a 4 axis system. The display can be coupled
in either the Z or W displays.
Enabling Z/W Coupling
To couple the Z and W axes and have the result displayed on the Z
display, press and hold the Z key approximately 2 seconds. The sum
of the Z/W positions will be displayed on the Z display and the W
display will be blanked.
To couple the Z and W axes and have the result displayed on the W
display, press and hold the W key for approximately 2 seconds. The
sum of the Z/W positions will be displayed on the W display and the Z
display will be blanked. The coupling is preserved in between
power cycles.
Moving either Z or W inputs will update the coupled Z/W position.
When a position is coupled, the reference mark for both encoders
must be found in order to recall the previous datum.
Disabling Z/W Coupling
To disable Z/W Coupling, press the axis key of the display that is blank.
The individual Z and W display positions will be restored.
