Operation Manual 3-14
Pressing the GO Key
To run a program, with or without any of the run options, highlight the step to begin with and
press
GO . MILLPWR will automatically pause at points that require action (e.g., change tools,
raise the quill, etc.) After the task has been completed, press the GO key again, and the table
will move to the next position. At this point, you will be prompted to drill or set the tool to the
programmed depth.
Before any rapid move, MILLPWR will display a warning message indicating that the table is
about to move at high speed. At this time, check that the tool is clear of the workpiece and fix-
turing. Pressing the
GO key, confirms that the tool is clear and ready for the table to move.
Pressing the STOP key once, causes the tool to pause in its cutting path, and
the following prompt will appear:
Press GO to resume machining, or STOP again to end the program execu-
tion. To restart a program, move to the step you wish to begin with and then
press GO .
Note: If starting in the middle of a program and the tool programmed is not
displayed in the current tool field, start the program at the pro-
grammed tool step for that tool.
Whenever you are about to run a program, check that the
handles are recessed.
The remote
STOP/GO
switch acts as
PAUSE if the
table is moving
and as GO if
the machine is
paused or
stopped.
To move quick-
ly to a step, key
