I – 3 Milling Specific Operations
Preparation:
8 Select the tool with the appropriate tool data.
8 Pre-position the tool to an appropriate location (such as X = Y = -1”).
8 Move the tool to milling depth.
8 Press the SET/ZERO soft key so that the DRO is still in Set mode.
8 Press the Y axis key.
8 Enter nominal position value for corner point 1: Y = 1”, and select
tool radius compensation R + with R+/- soft key. Press until R+ is
shown next to axis form.
8 Press ENTER.
8 Traverse the Y axis until the display value is zero. The square in the
near zero warning is now centered between the two triangular
marks.
8 Press the SET/ZERO soft key so that the DRO is still in Set mode.
8 Press the X axis key.
8 Enter nominal position value for corner point 2: X = +1.5”, select
tool radius compensation R – with R+/- soft key. Press twice until R-
is shown next to axis form.
8 Press ENTER.
8 Traverse the X axis until the display value is zero. The square in the
near zero warning is now centered between the two triangular
marks.
8 Presets can be entered in the same manner for corners 3, and 4.
