3.2 Manual Control Mode
The Manual Control mode offers various functions for setting up the
machine, for measuring tool dimensions and for manually machining
workpieces.
Options of operation:
„ Manual mode: With the “machine keys” and the handwheel, you
can control the spindle and move the axes to machine the
workpiece.
„ Setup mode: Here you enter the tools to be used, set the
workpiece datum, the workpiece change point, the protection zone
dimensions etc. In this way you prepare the machine to machine the
workpieces.
„ Determining the tool dimensions: You can find the tool
dimensions by touching the workpiece with the tool or with a touch
probe. As an alternative you can measure the dimensions with a
gauge and enter them in the tool database.
For manual control you can configure the machine display for up to
six variants (see “Machine Display” on page 97). You adjust by soft
key which variant will be displayed.
