I – 2 Milling Specific Operations

Sign for the length difference ∆L

If the tool is longer than the reference tool: ∆L > 0 (+)

If the tool is shorter than the reference tool: ∆L < 0 (–)

As indicated above it is also possible to have the Wizard 411

determine a tool’s length offset. This method involves touching the tip

of each tool to a common reference surface. This allows the Wizard

411 to determine the difference between the length of each tool.

Move the tool until its tip is touching the reference surface. Press the

TEACH LENGTH soft key. The Wizard 411 will calculate an offset relative

to this surface. Repeat the procedure for each additional tool using the

same reference surface.

Calling the Tool from the Tool Table

To call a tool, press the TOOL hard key. Use the Up/Down arrow keys

to cursor through the selection of tools (1-16). Highlight the tool you

want. Verify the proper tool has been called, and press the TOOL or C

key to exit.

Datum Setting

Datum settings define the relationships between the axis positions

and the display values.

Setting datum points is done best by using the Wizard 411 probing

functions with a tool.

Datum points are set in the conventional manner by touching the

edges of the workpiece, one after the other with a tool and manually

entering the tool positions as datum points. See Fig. I.9 & Fig. I.10.

Fig. I.10 SET DATUM form

Only the tools set using the same reference surface may

be changed without having to reset the datum.
