Working Mode

(ARE SHOWN DIFFERENT IN MANUAL)

1ST Option as supplied when turned on

Mode “ X . Y . Z”
This is basic use for 3 axis Normal reading of
movements of Reader Heads over scales.
Normally Used for Mills

Shown in “Configuration”

There are 2 other options made generally for Lathe use.

Option 2 “X . Z+ Z0 . Z”
Option 3 “2X . Y . Z”

Option 4 “2X. Z+Z0. Z”

To Change these Modes see page 5 of these instructions

2nd optional Setting

Mode “X . Z+ Z0 . Z”

In this mode,
“X” measures normally
(fit on Cross slide)

“Z+Z0”

When “ Z “ Axis is moved.
(“Z” Scale fitted on Compound slide travel),
Its movement is added to middle display
“Z0” movement.
(“Z0” Scale fitted on Saddle slide travel)

Used to show full movement of tool tip on “Z0” axis

Ie: Move Saddle “Z0” (say 119.11mm) then wind
compound slide “Z”. (say 42.03 mm )
The measurements shown on Middle “Z0” display line
( = 161.14 mm Position of tool tip.)

To set up to measure a Spindle RPM.

The unit is supplied with a “Proximity Sensor” that
works when the “south end” of a “magnet” passes it.

In this case the Display Unit is set for counting 4
magnets (supplied) per revolution.

Magnets need to be set up under guarding in case they
come loose and fitted in a ring of some sort mounted to
the spindle .With each magnet well secured into that
ring.

Example show here, the magnets are fitted in round
holes drilled evenly spaced around an existing
“spindle bearing Lock Nut”
Small grub screws are fitted into tapped holes in the
lock nut side to screw onto magnet to secure it in.

A bracket is then made to hold the proximity Sensor
close as possible to the magnets passing it.
(Sensor will work up to 5mm from magnet)

NB; “South end” of magnet needs to be facing Sensor

for it to work.

To work out “South end” of the magnet, you can pass

the magnet past the plugged in sensor and the
“Red LED” on the end of the Sensor will “Light up”
on the south end of the Magnet passing sensor.

When “South” is found, mark each magnet on the same

ends with a marker or liquid paper,
so you can set all up correctly in spindle holder you
made. ( “south’ pointing out towards Sensor!)

NB More or less magnets can be used, 1 to 36 off
