display mode (the message screen displays ALE).

9. Segmented error compensation

Note: only in Metric system can do Segmented error compensation . After
Segmented error compensation, the display can be converted freely betweef
Metric system and Imperial system.
There are two methods for Segmented error compensation of the digital
display meter:
1. To carry out error compensation taking the start point as the mechanical
origin. (Figure 1)
2. To carry out error compensation taking the 1st absolute zero of the raster
ruler as the mechanical origin. (Figure 2)

 A. Basic Function

L: The distance of effective range of raster ruler

L1: Length of the compensation segment
L2: Effective distance of the compensation segment

1. Set up according to the sketch map 1. The parameter set-up method is as

follows:
1) Move the raster ruler to the
smallest end of the coordinate data Enter into the ALE right-angle coordinate
system

2) Press , enter into the input function of multi-segment compensation

of X axis (the set-up method for Y axis and Z axis is the same as X axis.)

3) Input the quantity of compensation segments

(Figuer 1):
Press 6

(Figuer 2):

Press 5
Press , next step
Remarks: The quantity of compensation segments of any axis is input in X
axis.

4) Input the length of compensation segments

Press input compensation length value
Press , next step

5）Find the mechanical origin

There are two methods for setting the compensation origin.
1、directly press to choose the current position as origin.
2、Press to choose the 1st absolute zero of the raster ruler as the
mechanical origin.
8
 A. Basic Function

Move towards the positive direction of X axis of the

machine tool and search for the 1st absolute zero of the raster ruler as the
mechanical origin. After find the origin, then auto enter the next step for data input.
This time the X-axis displays the raster ruler fact value, and Y-axis displays the
former compensation value(if the readout is first compensated, the Y-axis display a
uncertain value).
6) Input the compensation setup of the 1st segment
At this time, firstly move the
X-axis raster ruler towards the
positive direction. When the raster ruler is moved around the length of the
compensation value（the compensation length in Step 4 is ±0.5mm）, the
display of Y axis is dimmed and enters into the status of value setting status,
at this time input the standard value of Y axis or the exact value measured by
laser (this method is implemented in every set-up point)
Press 12 0

（When press ,Y-axis will displays the X-axis’s value, and that means the
compensation value has been setup. If the value input is wrong, don’t move the
raster ruler, and press ,then press , this time the digit-display LED of
Y-axis will be in input state, and input the right value again.）
coordinate value
Press , and enter into the next set-up point
Remarks: In this function, the display of X
axis is the coordinate value, while Y axis
displays the standard value or the
measurement value by laser The standard value or the
measurement value by laser

7) Input the compensation setup of the 2nd segment

Press 2 0

Press , enter into the next set-up point

8) Input the compensation setup of the 3rd segment

Press 3 0

Press , and enter into the next set-up point

9
 A. Basic Function

9) Input the compensation setup of the 4th segment

Press 4 0

Press , and enter into the next set-up point

10) Input the compensation setup of the 5th segment

Press 5 0

Press , and enter into the next set-up point

11) Input the compensation setup of the 6th segment

Press 6 0

After the setup is finished, press key to exit.

Remarks: The input zone for the compensation value of Y axis and Z axis is the
coordinate display zone of X axis.

2. The cancellation method of Segmented compensation value

The Segmented compensation value is only aimed at the digit display meter,
raster ruler and machine tool set up together. If the raster ruler or digit display
meter whose Segmented compensation value is set up in a machine tool is moved
to another machine tool, the Segmented compensation value needs to be reset.
When the Segmented compensation function is not needed, the Segmented
compensation value is to be cancelled. The cancellation method is:
According to the set-up method of Segmented compensation indicated above,
when it is indicated to input the quantity of compensation points, input 0 as the
compensation segment, then all the compensation setup parameters are initialized.
At this time, all the compensation values set up before are cancelled automatically.

3. Finding the function of the mechanical origin

If there is power off when the raster ruler is moving, or the rater ruler is
moved before the power is on, after re-start, the mechanical origin needs to be
found again. Because of movement in power off or before power on, the
coordinate origin of the machine tool can not match the value in the digit display
meter. If the mechanical origin is not found, the misplaced relationship is brought
into the later user coordinate system. As when calculating the user coordinate, the

10
 A. Basic Function

Segmented compensation value is found according to the wrong mechanical

coordinate, thus there is big error of the displayed coordinate.
The method of finding mechanical origin is as follows:
1.Move the raster ruler to the position which is initially set up as the
mechanical origin, and then set up Segmented compensation. When inputting
the quantity of compensation segment and the compensation length, do not
make any change, and press directly to skip. Enter into the interface for
choosing compensation method, press . The interior of digit display meter
handles automatically. At this time, directly press key to quit the Segmented
compensation setup, and finish finding the mechanical origin.(Remarks: It is
applicable to setting up parameters according to sketch map 1)
2.Firstly move the raster ruler to the smallest value, and then set up
Segmented compensation. When inputting the quantity of compensation
segments and the compensation length, do not make any change, and
press .directly to skip. Enter into the interface for choosing compensation
method, press ,to enter X axis to find the status of absolute zero.
Move the raster ruler towards the positive direction. When the absolute zero is
found, it is the mechanical origin. The interior of digit display meter handles
automatically. At this time, directly press key to quit the Segmented
compensation setup, and finish finding the mechanical origin.(Remarks: It is
applicable to setting up parameters according to sketch map 2)
Note: When find the mechanical origin, the user-coordinate will resume.
Advise: find the mechanical origin before start work after power on to
assure the coordinate origin of the machine tool can match the value in the
digit display meter.

10. Power Interruption Memory

During the processing of a working piece, there may occur power

interruptions or needed temporary turnoffs, the digital display box will
automatically store the working state (such as the working mode in every axis,
displayed data and the linear error compensation factor) just before every
interruption event in its memory. Every time when the machine is turn on again,
the digital display box will recover to its working state just before the interruption
event after self checking, and the valve just before the interruption (turn off) event
will recover, and the processing will continue.

11
 A. Basic Function

11. Sleep Switch (no this function for the digital display box with 3-axis
display)

The switch on the back panel of the digital display box may once be turned
off during the processing of a working piece. It is true that the SDS2MS Series
digital box has its interruption memory, but the machine tool may have been
moved after the event. In such a case, when the machine is turned on again, the
working state just before the interruption event will be displayed again, but this is
not the actual new situation. If the operator want to suspend the processing for his
(her) rest time or any time he (she) is occupied by other thing, the sleep switch can
be used to avoid the above mentioned situation.
In not ALE working state, if there a need of Sleep Switch Off, key ,the
digital display box will turn off the display. When restarting the processing,
key ,and the box will turn on all the display. No matter how the machine tool
was moved after the display had been turned off, the box will “see” and “keep in
mind” the end state after the machine tool have been moved. When the display has
been turned on again, the displayed working state will be the actual state.

Note: When the sleep switch has been turned off, the digital display box is not
really in the turnoff sate; if the power switch on the back panel of the
box has been turned off, the sleep switch losses its function.

Smooth R Arc Calculation function (ARC Function)

In the processing of moulds, it often happens that the processing of circular
arc is indispensable. For the case that the processing is arranged for a single
working piece, the required contour is simple and not too much processing of
circular arc will be involved, it may involve much dissipation in both time and
money to arrange the job to a digital control machine tool.
The advanced smooth R arc Calculation function provided in SDS2MS
model digital display box makes it possible to complete the processing of a single
piece such as moulding copper electrode easily and quickly with a universal
milling machine. This arc Calculation function makes it possible to freely control
the smoothness of the circular arc. The distance between two adjoining working
points is uniform, the smoothness of the circular arc can be control through the
control of this distance.
This function is used in the processing of circular arc. ①The display on the
message window prompts the operator to enter all the parameters have to be
defined, so it is very easy to operate. ②This function can based on the input
maximal cut (MAX CUT) calculates out the most proper depth of cut, and so, the
smoothness of the circular arc in thoroughly in the operator’s control.
1) An operator without experience in this must at first get a clear understanding of
the coordinate system in using the Arc R calculating function.

*Changing the maximal cut

When processing an arc in Plane XZ and YZ, “MAX CUT” is the depth of
cut in Z axis. If the depth of cut in Z axis is uniform, the surface quality of the arc
worked out will be very no uniform. In order to improve the surface quality of the
circular arc processing in Plane XZ and YZ, the operator may change the maximal
cut during the processing to bring a rather uniform surface quality. When
processing an arc in Plane XY, “MAX CUT” is the cut of each cut feed. By reason
of the cut of each cut feed in uniform, the surface quality of the arc worked out
will be controlled to be rather uniform, so, no “changing the maximal cut”
function will be used when processing an arc in Plane XY.
For changing the maximal cut, the operator may follow the following
operations.

1) Change the maximal cut under processing X

mode.

 E. The Function For 200 Point

E. The Function For 200 Point

Subsidiary Zero Positions

33
 E. The Function For 200 Point

200 subsidiary zero position function:

200 auxiliary zero position function: also is called 200 user Coordinate
System (UCS) function.
ALE: Absolute Coordinate System.
ALE is the “reference” system. All 200 UCS are defined relative to the ALE.
ALE is confirmed in the initialization of the work piece process, which doesn’t
change if the work piece no changed.
UCS: User Coordinate System.
In the processing of moulds, often it would not work with only one reference
zero position, normally, a lot of subsidiary zero positions is necessary. In the
processing of a large of complicated drilling/milling fittings with multi point
dimensions, it is also necessary to have a lot of fixed point positions in order to
perform the processing of a series of structures with dimensions referred to these
point position. In these cases, if there is only one reference point, the working
efficiency will be rather low, as you have to find out the correct position point by
point, more over, it may be very difficult for complicated moulds or moulding
fittings to do in such a way. The function 200 point subsidiary zero positions is
specially provided as a good resolution for this problem.

Ⅰ. The operator must know the following two key points before
making use of this function:
1. Every subsidiary zero position is equivalently the original point of one
UCS. Once entering the display mode of such UCS, the display of every
point will take the subsidiary zero position as the original point.
2. There is relation between every subsidiary zero position and the zero
position is the absolute mode. After a subsidiary zero position is set, it will
keep the position relation between it and the zero position in the absolute
mode in memory, once the zero position in the absolute mode changes, the
subsidiary zero position will also change by the same distance and angle.

Ⅱ. The operator may fully make use this function as the

following:
1. Set the zero position in absolute mode (ALE lamp on) at the main reference
point of the working piece, for example, Point O in Fig. (1) in next page. Set
subsidiary zero positions at subsidiary reference points of the working piece, for
example, Points 1, 2 and 3 in Fig. (1). It is possible to enter the display mode of

34
 E. The Function For 200 Point

every UCS taking a subsidiary zero position as its original points to perform the
processing when need.
2. In the display mode of every UCS, processing with various special function can
be performed.

Ⅲ. The setting of subsidiary zero position

There are two methods of setting subsidiary zero position: the one is entering
the position of the subsidiary zero position directly, the other is resetting once a
subsidiary zero position is reached.
Method 1: Directly Entering, under the UCS display mode, key
Number keys .
Take Fig. (1) as example: After turning the machine on, move the machine
tool to the center point O in Fig.(1), enter the absolute display mode.

The setting of all the subsidiary zero positions of the working piece shown in
Fig. (1) has been finished.

Why the enter position coordinates of every subsidiary zero position are just
in the opposite direction of the displayed values? Let us explain this with the
above example. Under the UCS mode, when the coordinates of the subsidiary zero
position are entered at the position of the zero position in the absolute mode, the
displayed data will be the position of the zero position in the absolute mode in the

36
 E. The Function For 200 Point

corresponding UCS. This is because the subsidiary zero position is taken as the
original point of the UCS under the relative display mode. In Fig. (1), we can see
that Point O is at the position(-80, -30) with respect to Point 1, (-70, -40) with
respect to Point 2, and (-60, -40)with respect to Point 3. If the operator enter the
coordinates of a subsidiary zero point other than the zero position in the absolute
mode, the displayed data will be the position with respect to subsidiary zero point
in the corresponding UCS. For example, when the position of the third subsidiary
zero position is entered at Point E, the resulted display will be (-50, -30).

Method 2: Clearing when the position is reached. When the machine tool is at
the position of the subsidiary zero point, key X

In absolute state (ALE state), key 10 times continuously, the memory
about all the subsidiary zero positions will be cleared, the 200 subsidiary zero
positions will become the same point of the zero position in the absolute state.

2. Reset during a subsidiary zero position is being used

A subsidiary zero position is being used of course under the display mode of
the corresponding UCS, resetting in this state is actually to reset a new subsidiary
zero position. The point at which the resetting operation act become the new
subsidiary zero position, and the new subsidiary zero position replacing the

original subsidiary zero position.

3. Turn to one half during a subsidiary zero position is being used

“1/2” function may be used under UCS display mode. Turning to one half
under the UCS display mode using a subsidiary zero position is actually also
resetting a new subsidiary zero position. After the operation of turning to one half
act, the original subsidiary zero position will be replaced by the new subsidiary
zero position is center between the original subsidiary zero position and the point
at which the operation act.
