OPERATION
Example: Incremental Presets
Hole 1 is an absolute dimension because it’s measured from datum.
Holes 2 and 3 are incremental dimensions (measured from one hole to
the next) that you can preset.
1. Press the ABS/INCR key until “ABS” is selected on the DRO dis-
play. Also check that the system is in the “inches” mode (the MM
key should not be lit up).
2. For Hole 1, move the table until X = 2.00” and Y = 1.5”.
Drill Hole 1.
3. Now press the ABS/INCR key so that “INCR” is selected on the
DRO display. This tells MICRO-LINE that you want to measure the
distance from your current position to the next point.
4. Press the X key, enter 2 as the distance from Hole 1, and then press
ENTER . Two inches is the incremental preset distance.
5. Move the table until X = 0.000” and Y = 0.000”. Drill Hole 2.
6. Press the X key (2.00 should already appear as the distance), and
then press ENTER . Two inches is the incremental preset distance.
7. Move the table until X = 0.000” and Y = 0.000”. Drill Hole 3.
