Woodworking engraving machine manual control method Woodworking engraving machine how to operate manually
Most of the current woodworking engraving machines are controlled by the operator through the computer, but some engraving needs are a little difficult for computer operation. At this time, manual control is required. Can the current woodworking engraving machine be manually controlled? The answer is yes. If you want to manually process the engraving, you only need to do some operations in the system. You can follow the CNC network to learn about the manual control of the woodworking engraving machine. !
Manual machining of woodworking engraving machine means that the machine tool manually processes the machining program according to the parameters set by the user. There are four ways to manually operate the machine: handwheel pulse mode, continuous jog mode, stepping mode and custom step mode.
The user can select the manual mode to process the program files. Click the “Manual” button on the status bar window at the bottom right of the main interface. The window will display a manual operation interface, and you can perform corresponding manual operations on this interface. In the manual button area of the window, there are six manual buttons, which correspond to the positive and negative directions of the X, Y, and Z axes, respectively. The manual window provides an interactive operating environment for the user to manually manipulate the machine.
First, the hand wheel pulse mode
The user can select the handwheel pulse mode for continuous processing. When the radio button on the right side of the manual machining window is switched to the "Handwheel" option, the movement of the machine is determined by the input of the handwheel.
1. There are pulse magnification selection on the handwheel: ×1, ×10, and ×100, respectively, indicating different pulse multiples of the handwheel.
2. There is axis selection on the handwheel: the user can select the X, Y and Z axes that need to be fed.
3. There is stepping direction selection on the handwheel: each axis has positive and negative direction. After selecting the stepping axis on the handwheel, the handwheel can be shaken in positive and negative directions, corresponding to the knob on the handwheel. "The arrow shows.
4. When the hand wheel is ×1, ×10, and ×100, the distance corresponding to each hand of the hand wheel can be set by parameters.
5. Handwheel acceleration can be set separately.
6, the hand wheel supports two modes: (1) strict pulse count; (2) non-strict pulse count. In the case of strict pulse counting, the distance traveled by the machine tool is strictly equal to the number of hand pulses (note: in this mode, if the hand pulse is too fast, it may cause excessive buffering pulses when stopping When the handwheel is shaken, the machine will go a long distance). In the non-strict pulse counting mode, the number of hand pulses is not strictly equal to the distance traveled by the machine. When the handwheel stops, the machine starts to decelerate and stop.
Note:
Before performing the operation, check that the external handwheel device is properly linked. This mode is mainly used for quick positioning of the machine.
Second, continuous jog mode
The continuous jog machining mode is entered by selecting the "Connect" radio button on the right side of the window. In this way, you can click the manual button or the corresponding numeric shortcut on the keypad with your mouse. When the mouse presses the manual button of the corresponding axis or the corresponding number key is pressed, the machine starts to move; when the mouse pops up or releases the keyboard, the machine stops working.
When the jog action is performed, the movement path of the machine tool is displayed in the machining path window.
Third, incremental stepping method
Similar to the continuous jog mode, the incremental stepping mode (incremental mode) is another manual operation mode. Unlike the continuous jog mode, the incremental stepping mode can accurately control the movement of the machine axis. Give the distance.
Before using this method, you must set the appropriate step size and set the distance for each jog feed by modifying the jog step. The user can select the appropriate step size by keyboard or mouse, or customize the step size. The step size provided by the system is 0.01mm, 0.1mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm.
The step size can be set by:
1, keyboard operation:
When the jog window is the current active window, the jog step is increased or decreased by the number key corresponding to the manual button. Each time the number key is pressed, the corresponding axis moves for a given step size.
2, mouse operation:
Click the appropriate step button directly with the mouse to select the manual button of the corresponding axis in the manual button area of the window. Each time the manual button is clicked, the machine moves according to the selected step size.
In addition to the common step size displayed on the interface, the user can also customize the step size as follows: Click the “Custom Step Size” button with the left mouse button, a dialog box will pop up, and the appropriate step will be set in the dialog box. After long, left click on the "OK" button to return. When the user customizes the step size, the system will jog according to the step given by the user.
After setting the appropriate step size, you can operate the machine with the keyboard and mouse.
Note:
Avoid setting the jog step in the Z direction too large to avoid damage to the machine due to misuse.
