Teach Position
Whenever an X, Y or Z coordinate is being entered the
TEACH POSITION softkey will be
available. Pressing this key will place the current absolute position in the coordinate entry
field.
To “teach” MILLPWR a coordinate (while programming a milling function,
such as a line):
• Using the arrow keys, highlight the X-, Y- or Z-axis field.
• Move the tool, indicator, or electronic edge finder to the position you
want to teach.
• Press the
TEACH POSITION softkey to enter that location and press
ENTER. (With an electronic edge finder, the points will automati-
cally be entered on contact—even if you over-travel.) See Using An
Electronic Edge Finder.
· Repeat the steps above for each axis and each location you want to
teach.
· Press USE to accept the information or press CANCEL to return to the
previous screen without saving the information.

or using a

tion, you can
