Operation Manual
Running the Program
The first step in running a new program is to set the datum point
on the workpiece. Remember that we chose the center of the
bolt circle as the datum.
•
Mount the workpiece in a vise.
•
Press DRO and use the MOVE TABLE function to position
the quill over the workpiece where you think the bolt circle
center might be.
•
Release the MOVE TABLE function.
•
Press the DATUM softkey.
•
Press the X = 0 and Y = 0 keys to establish the current
tool center as the datum.
•
Press USE to use this datum, and return to the program view
by pressing the PGM key.
We’ll do a dry run to see if the part will fit on the
workpiece.
•
Press RUN OPTIONS and then DRY RUN .
•
Now press GO , clear the tool and press GO again. The
MILLPWR will run each of the steps without stopping so
you can see the tool path.
