8.3 User interface

Fig. 11: User interface

Thread Select:

Click the “Thread Select” to choose the

thread size, it will automatically generate the thread pitch
and torque.

Tapping Pitch:

In the Thread Select interface,if you

choose the thread, it will generate the thread pitch auto-
matically, or you can set nonstandard pitch value.

Input range:

0.001-10 mm.

Tapping depth:

Setting of the desired thread depth.

Value range:

0.01-500 mm.

Tapping speed:

The setting of the cutting speed of the

threading machine.

Calculation: Vgs=Vmax/L; if the max. motor speed is
Vmax=3000 rpm and the gear ratio is L=16, the maxi-
mum speed of tapping is Vgs=Vmax/L=3000/16=187
rpm. .

Return speed:

Setting of the return speed of the thread

tapping machine.

Torque setting:

To set this parameter, the torque pro-

tection function must be opened on the user parameter
interface.

After setting the torque protection: During machining, if
the control detects that the tapping force reaches the
preset protection torque, the motor stops tapping, then
retracts to the preset number of threads and then conti-
nues tapping until the preset thread depth is reached.

Note: Torque protection in normal operation is available
in manual and automatic operation modes, but not in
deep hole operation.

Counter:

Recording of the processed workpiece quan-

tity. The „Clear“ button resets the number to zero.

Actual depth:

Actual value thread cutting depth in ma-

nual and automatic operating mode. The current thread
cutting depth is automatically deleted each time the
thread cutting machine is started.

In the event of an interruption in automatic thread cutting
mode, the thread cutting depth is not deleted! When the
thread-cutting machine is restarted, the remaining depth
continues to be cut up to the preset value.

Manual/Automatic mode:

select the desired mode by

touching the screen.

Manual mode:

On the user interface, select the thread, the thread cut-
ting depth, the torque, the thread cutting speed and the
reverse speed.

In the manual thread cutting process, press and hold the
forward button until you cut to the preset thread cutting
depth. The motor stops automatically. Release the for-
ward button, press and hold the reverse button until the
tap leaves the workpiece.

Note: In manual operation mode, each time the forward
button is pressed, the current tapping depth is deleted.
