R DIST
R DIST, or Retract Distance, allows you to establish an incremental distance above
the cut depth where the Retract relay will relax, stopping retraction movement.
When used, the Retract relay will activate when the cut depth is reached and after
any dwell cycle has completed. Retract ends when the current Z position equals R-
DIST or Z-TOP whichever occurs first.
To establish a retract distance:
1.
Press the
e
key then the
X
key. The display will read “R DIST”.
2.
Press the
Y
key to toggle the R-DIST function “OFF” or to begin entering a dis
tance.
3.
Enter the retract distance. For example,
type in
2

,
5
and press the
E
key.
Pressing
E
saves the information entered
and advances you to the next parameter.
4.
Press the
X
key to continue to the next
parameter or press the
e
key to return
to the EDM/DRO display.
Z TOP
Similar to R DIST, Z TOP allows the operator to establish a distance above absolute
zero (datum) where the Retract relay will relax, stopping retraction movement.
To establish a Z TOP position:
1.
Press the
e
key then the
X
key twice. The display will read “Z TOP”.
2.
Press the
Y
key to toggle the Z TOP function “OFF” or to begin entering the Z
TOP parameter.
3.
Enter the Z TOP distance. For example, type in
2
,
.
,
5
and press the
E
key. Pressing
E
saves the information entered and advances you to the next
parameter.
4.
Press the

key to continue to the next parameter or press the
e
key to
return to the EDM/DRO view.
