INSTRUCTION MANUAL ZEROPOINT ENDMILL PROGRAIS Walter Grinders Inc. May 1991 ee barf es i =e1. GENERAL INFORMATION This zeropoint program package is designed for the manufacturing and/or regrinding of right hand spiral - right hand cut, square, corner radius, and ballnose endmills on the Walter Helitronic 55 machine. This program package uses information stored in the wheel measurement files and machine measurement files to position the machine axes before grinding the selected operations. The manufacturing programs useS the WALMACH menu, which contains all wheel and machine measurement information. The regrindin programs uses the WHEEL6R menu, which contains the wheel medsurement information and the MACHNG6R menu, which contains the machine measurement information. NOTE: The left hand spiral - left hand cut versions of these programs are offered as an option and do not come standard with he 55 machines. The instruction manual applies to both the right hand and left hand versions.

The menus for the Hight hand versions are the same name as the right hand programs. e menus for the left hand versions are also the same name as the right hand programs. Example: The menu to program 1216-00U is 1216-00U The menu to program 1216-11U is 1216-00U Pageery, ®I MEASURING THE MACHINE The B- wind enould be positioned so that the centerline of the spindle is located at 90 degrees (perpendicular to X-axis travel). The D-axis should be paliloned’ so that the centerline of Hab fpinate is locate it O degrees (parallel to Z-axis ravel The centerline of the A-axis workhead should be in direct alignment with the centerline of the C-axis rotary table. Position C-axis so the centerline of the A-axis workhead is in parallel alignment with X-axis travel. Move t and Z axes_to their limit switches and set abgatute 210 tet all axes.
