Introduction

The engineer will need a reasonable mechanical knowledge, and a working knowledge of the operation of the machine.

You will need callipers (+/-0.05mm) and an accurate rule

The setting of the V notch blades on a ZX3 revolves around the setting of two groups of parameters:

• V and W axis positions
• Blade offsets for each blade

The rough position of V and W axes is set first, then the individual blade offsets are set, and finally a test is run to tweak the accuracy to gain perfection.

There are two “tweaking” parameters for each blade. The two parameters are:

• Depth offset – how deep into the bar
• X axis offset – position of point of blade relative to the spindle centreline

Étape 1 - Before You Start

1. Make sure the Datum is correct first.
2. V notch blades are not buckled.
3. Check that the profile width is correct for the profile you are testing.

Étape 2 - Run a VTest

A calibration mnd file has been written to help line up the  x offsets called VTEST. This program creates the following pattern on the bottom of the profile using a 10mm spindle and the notching blades themselves:

Run the VTest operation on a length of large outer frame of at least 1m long. Put the    operation at a position of 500mm.
