ENCE POSITION RETURN
3.0 MANUAL OPERATION
Reference Zero:
Manual reference position return is to move the tool to the reference position using
switches and push buttons located on the operator’s panel. Fadal machines are
equipped with Absolute Encoders. Stored position information from the encoders will
initialize the current machine position at power-up. Manual referencing of axes after
power-up should not be required. When position is established by absolute feedback,
REF RETURN MODE will simply command axes to Home position.
Reference Procedure:
1. Select REF RETURN Mode
2. Select one axis to be referenced by X, Y, Z, 4, or 5 axes button.
Machine axes will move at traverse rate to home position. When each axis has
completed finding the reference position, the related machine coordinate will become to
zero. Press the JOG, JOG INC, HANDLE or AUTO, MDI, and EDIT mode keys to exit
the Reference mode.
Pressing the POS key on the MDI panel will switch to different position display which
includes machine coordinate, absolute coordinate, and related coordinate.
For referencing of machine axes, including initialization of absolute encoder positions,
please see separate maintenance procedure in Appendix.

4. Rotate manual pulse generator (MPG) clock-wise or counter clock-wise for plus or
minus motion, respectively. For each detent or “click” of MPG handle, one selected
increment or travel will be commanded. Direction LED will be lit during motion.
NOTE:
Increment travel selection by multiplier settings are used same as during INCR JOG mode. For
example, selection of X10 increment with clock-wise rotation of 15 “clicks” on MPG will command
0.0150” or 0.150mm of travel in plus direction.
NOTE:
When MPG hand wheel is rotated at a rate fast enough to exceed the axis traverse rate, the axis
speed is claimped at the traverse rate and excess rotation of the hand wheel is ignored. In this case,
the distance of axis travel will not equal the amount of hand wheel rotation.
3.1.5 JOG FEED RATE
When the machine is in the JOG mode, the jog feedrate varies from 0 IPM to 240 IPM
since the feedrate switch changes the feedrate from 0% to120%. For example, if Jog
Feedrate Switch is at 100%, the feedrate changes to 200IPM.
This switch affects the rapid speed since it is rapid speed override switch also.
When the HMOP operation ON/OFF switch is turn off, the effective feed override/
feedrate is only related with main operator panel feed override switch.
When the operation ON/OFF switch is turned on, the effective feed override/feedrate
value is that HMOP override switch’s value multiply main operator panel feed override
switch’s value.
NOTE:
If the feed override/feed rate is at 0%, no motion will occur when using the “+/-” jog button or execut-
ing the program.

another tool.
1. Press REF RETURN button.
2. Press X1 button. The drum will automatically move to the number 1.
Eight digit T-Word may be programmed in block with or without M06 code.
T-Word programmed in block by itself will position tool carousel with position tool
carousel with programmed tool at 6 o’clock position (DATC) for next tool change.
Rotation of carousel will not inhibit continued execution of part program (FIN) as
carousel is away from work area. For DATC, this enables cycle time reduction of part
program execution, by allowing next tool to be immediately ready for tool change.
Programming T-Word after M06 will command positioning of carousel, followed by
immediate tool change. T-Word must be programmed following M06 in block, as TWord is argument passed to M06 macro program.
Programming T-code of tool that is already at tool change (6 o’clock) position will
command no activity by tool carousel, as requested tool, is already at tool change
position.
T-Word may be used to position tool carousel by pocket number when combining with
M100 miscellaneous code.

ATC tool changer. M06 command calls macro program O9021, which executes
required Z-axis motion commands & special Miscellaneous Codes (M- Codes) for
execution of the tool change cycle.
Tool number (T-Command) must always follow M06 code in program block. M06
programmed in block without T-Code following, or T-Code preceding M06 is illegal
syntax for this machine.

tool changer. M06 command calls program O9020, which executes required Z-axis
motion commands & special Miscellaneous Codes (M-Codes) for execution of the tool
change cycle.
Tool number (T-Command) must follow M06 code in program block, when M06 and Txx
code are programmed in the same block. T-Code preceding M06 in same block is
improper syntax for this machine. T-Code may be programmed alone, in previous block
to provide positioning of TOOL DRUM prior to tool change. This method improves part
program cycle time.
