2.3 Quick Operation Guide
Following will give an example of how to do manual operation, set the origin of program coordinate and program a INSMILL face milling:
Manual operation and setting the origin of program coordinate
: |
Touch manual tab to enter the manual page. |
: |
Take axis X as an example. Touch the axis icon. It means the axis is ready while the icon starts blinking. |
|
: |
Press key 1 and key 2 to move the axis in jog mode. |
|
: |
Rotate the knob to move the axis in a fixed step. |
|
: |
Press the knob to adjust the step and jog speed override. |
|
: |
When finish the moving, touch "SET P" icon below. |
|
: |
The axis-to-set dialog will pop up at this time. |
|
: |
Knob rotating or touch can select the axis to set. |
|
: |
Press key 1 to confirm the selection of desired axis. |
|
: |
Press key 2 to quit this operation. |
|
: |
If you select change axis X and press key 1, the dialog of program position modification mode will appear. If "=0" is selected, the current X-axis program position will be set to zero which means it is the origin of X. Repeat above steps to set program position of other two axes. |
Program INSMILL face milling
: |
Touch INSMILL tab to enter the INSMILL page. |
: |
Rotate the knob or touch to select face milling object (A). |
|
: |
Press key 1 to confirm the selected object. |

Press key 1 to confirm the selection of current item and return to previous page. |
|
: |
Press key 2 to quit this operation and return to previous page, the parameter will not change. |

|
: |
Fill in the manufacture parameters. |
|
: |
Touch "SHAPE" icon below to enter the simulation. |
: |
Press Key 2 to exit the simulation and return to the object editor. |
|
: |
After confirming the editing parameters. If you want to execute this object, touch "RUN" icon in the auxiliary row. |
|
