NOTE:
This manual is only for your reference. At the time of the compiling of this manual ev-
ery effort tobe exact with the instructions, specications, drawings, and photographs
of the machine was taken. Owing to the continuous improvement of the HAFCO
METALMASTER equipment, changes may be made at any time without obligation or
notice. Please ensure the local voltage is the same as listed on the specication plate
before operating any electric machine.
POWER SUPPLY
The PROTECTIVE EARTH CIRCUIT of the mains supply, MUST BE CONNECTED to the
protective earth terminal of the DRO through the supply cord.
The supply cord must be secured with cable ties to avoid from dropping into a hazardous
position, for example the oor or coolant tray, when disconnected from the DRO.
The supply cord must be routed away from moving parts, swarf, coolant or sources of heat.
MOUNTING
Select the location of the installation with due regard of safety and ease of operation. Keep the
DRO away of moving parts and coolant spray. To ensure correct operation of the DRO, make
sure that the DRO is correct grounding. The DRO may require grounding if different power
circuits are used. Grounding diagram can be found on page 52

XH600 DRO is an instrument which can measure the position of the work piece when process-
ing. The coordinate system needs to be dened rst, for more efciency and accuracy.
On a vertical milling machine, the longitudinal travel of the table is parallel with the X axis, and
cross travel is parallel with the Y axis. Z is parallel to the spindle and is parallel to the up-anddown travel.
Origin is a point along the axis that reads zero.
Positive direction of an axis is set as the number increases as you move away from the origin.
The value of one point position is the distance relative to the origin of the coordinate.
For a work-piece as Figure A, the value of each point position is as Figure B when point O is the
origin of the coordinate.

2.6 ABSOLUTE / INCREMENTAL / 200 GROUP SDM
An ABSOLUTE movement moves to a measurement distance from the ZERO POINT.
An INCREMENTAL movement is a measurement based on the current position. An incremental
measurement does not take the parts zero point into consideration.
During machining operations, the operator can store the work piece datum ( ZERO position ) in
ABS coordinate, then switch to INC coordinate to continue machining operations
Then the operator is free then to zero the axes or preset any dimensions into any axis in INC coordinate for any relative position machining. The work piece datum (work piece ZERO position ) is
still kept in the ABS coordinate of the DRO.
Function: The XH600 series DRO has 3 display modes, absolute mode (ABS), incremental mode
(INC) and 200 group Second Data Memory (SDM) with the range of 000 to 199.
1. Zero point of the work-piece is set at the origin point of the ABS coordinate,
2 The relative distance between datum of ABS and SDM remains unchanged when ABS datum is changed.
3. If one point in ABS is zeroed, the point in INC is zeroed automatically, yet if one point in INC
is zeroed, the point in ABS will remain unchanged.
Example: Currently in ABS display coordinate, to switch to INC display coordinate

2.9 VIBRATION FILTERING
Vibration ltering is especially useful for old and big machines in which the machine structure is
not rigid enough to get a stable display during machining or moving, or when machining in one
axis, the other axes may vibrate and hence the DRO display numbers are jumping around which
may cause confusions and uncomfortable position visualization to the operator.
If the operator cannot see the display value clearly. The XH600 series DRO provides vibration
ltering function to stabilize the digits display,
Steps:
1. Enter display value lter function In normal display state, press to enter the display value lter function.
2. To exit the display value lter function, press again

Chapter 3. SDM COORDINATES - 200 GROUPS
The HAFCO METALMASTER XH-600 DRO has three display modes.
1. Absolute mode (ABS),
2. Incremental mode (INC) and
3. 200 groups second data memory (SDM 0—SDM199).
ABS datum of the work-piece is set at the beginning of the processing and the 200 group SDM
is set relative to ABS coordinate.
1. INC is independent of ABS, it won’t follow any change in ABS datum ( zero point ) .
However, all SDM coordinates are relative to ABS coordinate, all SDM positions are relative
to ABS’s zero, it will shift together with ABS zero position changes.
2. All SDM coordinate’s relative distance to ABS can be entered directly into the DRO using
the keypads. No need of any calculation or actual tool positioning in the machine.
Example: The ABS datum is the center point O, the point E, F, G, H needing processing are set as a datum of SDM 000 — SDM 003.
Two ways to set SDM coordinates:
1. Zeroing at the current point;
2.` Presetting the datum of the SDM coordinate.
3.1 ZEROING AT THE CURRENT POINT
Set the center point of the work-piece as the origin of the
ABS, then align the lathe cutting tool with point E, F, G, H
by moving the machine table and zero them. It is the
processing position where the “0.00” appears in the X
window, Y window by moving the machine table whether
in ABS or in SDM coordinate.
Steps:
1. Set the center of rectangular point O as the datum of
ABS. Make line AB parallel with X axis: line AD parallel
with Y axis. When position lathe tool to point O
Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 000.
Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 001.
Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 002.
Zero X axis and Y axis in SDM 003.
2. Set the point E as the datum of SDM 000.
SDM 000: align the cutting tool with point E and zero X
axis, and the Y axis. DRO displays as per the picture to

6. Machine the work-piece according to the preset SDM coordinates.
7. Machine another work-piece according to the same blueprint. You only need to set the
center point as the datum of ABS. It is not necessary to set SDM coordinate again, as SDM
can be set automatically. Point E, F, G, and H are the zero points of SDM 000, SDM 001, SDM 002, and SDM 003 respectively. Points can be machined when entering corresponding
SDM coordinate and where “0.000” appears in the screen by moving the machine table. This
function can save plenty of time where multiple pieces are to be machined

INSTRUCTION MANUAL
3.2 PRESET DATUM OF SDM COORDINATE
Compared with the way of zeroing at current point, another way, presetting SDM coordinate
datum, can set the zero point of the SDM more accurately and quickly without moving the
machine table.
As the gure showed right, center point is the datum of
ABS, the position points E, F, G, H are (-60, -45),
(60, -45), (60, 45), (-60, 45) in the ABS coordinate.
A. Enter SDM 000 and preset the position of point O
as (60, 45), which means the point E is the datum of
SDM 000.
B. Enter SDM 001, preset the position of point O as(-60, 45), which means the point F is the datum of SDM 001;
XH600
C. Enter SDM 002 and set the position of point O as (-60, -45), which means that point G is the
the datum of SDM 002.
D. Enter SDM 003, preset the position of point O as (60, -45), witch means that point H is the
datum of SDM 003.
Note: The preset value is negative to the actual value of the position in ABS. If set “SDM DIR”
as “1” in initial system settings, the caution is not necessary. The value DRO accepts, is equal to
the negative of the enter value.
1. Set “SDM DIR” as “1” in initial system settings;
2. Set the center point of the work-piece as the datum
of ABS; Line AB is parallel to X axis, line AD is parallel
to Y axis. Move machine table; align the milling cutter
with point O. The machine table remain still while

4.2 Bolt Hole Line Function
4.3 Arc Machining
4.4 Slope Machining Function
4.1 PITCH CIRCLE HOLE FUNCTION
Function description:
The XH600 series DRO has a Pitch Circle Hole Function. This function can simplify the pressing
of multiple holes which are attributed equally around the circumference of a circle. The DRO will
guide operator to enter the following parameters:
RADIUS: - Radius of circle
ST ANGLE: - Starting angle that the centerof the rst
hole on the circle.
END.ANGLE:- Ending angle that the center of the last hole on the circle.
HOLE NUM:- Number of Holes.
DIRECT:- Angle direction.
Angle has two directions: counterclockwise and clock-
wise. “0” indicates that it is counterclockwise from the
ST.ANGLE to END.ANGLE; “1” indicates it is clockwise
from ST.ANGLE to END.ANGLE. As the following gure,
the ST.ANGLE is 0º, END.ANG is 240º.
The gure (B) illustrates the arc while angle direction
is counterclockwise; gure (C) illustrates the arc while
angle direction is clockwise.
As gure (D) illustrates, machine a hole every 45 deg
from 45º ~ 225º. Parameters are as the following:
RADIUS20ST.ANGLE45END.ANGLE225HOL NUM5

4.3 ARC MACHINING
This function is only for XH600-2, XH600-3.
It is waste of time to use a numerical control lathe to process an arc in a simple product or

6.4 SETTING THE ERROR CORRECTION TYPE
Denition:
Linear error: There is always an error between actual measure value and standard value. If it is
distributed around the scale travel linearly, the error is dened as linear error. For example
the scale valid length is 400mm. If the measure value is 400mm and the standard value is
400.040mm: There is a discrepancy of 0.040mm. If this is distributed around the scale linearly,
there is a discrepancy of 0.10mm when the scale travels 100mm; a 0.020mm when the scale
travels 200mm, and 0.03mm when the scale travels 300mm.
Note: The correction value on linearity is only set by the manufacturer, and the user should not
modify randomly, as the measurement precision may be inuenced.
There are two kinds of setting types for error correction;
1. Linearity error correction.
2. Non-linearity error correction.

Chapter 7 LINEARITY ERROR CORRECTION
Function:
There is a error between the grating ruler’s measuring value and standard value, if it is assumed
that the shape of two measuring curves within grating ruler’s travel range is consistent completely but isn’t coincide, which is called as linearity error.
Linearity correction: compensate the linearity error so as to enable that the display value is equal
to standard value.
NOTES: The linear compensation is set by the manufacturer. Changes should only be made
after careful consideration as it could make the accuracy of linear scale worse.
Default coefcient: 0
Step 1: Enter into the parameters inside digital display meter and set the error correction type of
corresponding axle is 0 (linearity compensation mode). (Specic setting methods refer to
Chapter 6.4)
Step 2: Input the linearity error compensation system, Based on standard and digital display
value, calculate the correct coefcients according to the formula.
The calculation of compensation coefcient.Correction coefcient: S =(L-L’)/(L/1000) mm/m.
L---actually-measured length, unit, mm.
L’---display value on thedigital display meter, unit: mm.S--- correction coefcient: mm/m, when it is “+”, represent the growth; when it is “-”,
represent the shortening.Compensation scope: -1.500 mm/m~+1.500 mm/m.
