Introduction

Congratulations! Your ProtoTRAK is a unique, one-of-a-kind, control system which

combines the simplicity of manual machining with the contouring capability of CNC

controls.

The ProtoTRAK has been designed to maximize the interplay between manual and

automatic machining.

acts like an advanced digital readout in manual machine

operation.

o It acts like

CNC when programmed to do complex contouring

jobs.

o And it acts with the best qualities of each when your job is best

done

transitioning back and forth between manual and contouring

CNC

operations with the powerful

ONE

routines.

Section

provides a brief description of the ProtoTRAK.

Section

defines some terms and concepts useful in learning to program and operate

the ProtoTRAK.

Section

describes the digital readout (DRO), jog, and power

feed

operation of the

ProtoTRAK.

Section

describes general programming and program run.

Section

describes programming and running DO ONE routines.

Section

describes the Math Help features built into the ProtoTRAK.

Section

provides some suggestions for the proper care and maintenance as well as

error messages.

ONE:

calls up single cycle routines.

POSN

DRILL:

callsup the positionldrill routine.

BOLT

HOLE:

calls

bolt hole routine.

MILL:

calls up the straight line

mill

routine.

ARC:

calls up the arc mill routine.

CIRCLE:

REPEAT: calls up programming of subroutines.

POCKET:

calls up rectangular pocket or frame routines.

START: initiates the start of a program or

ONE.

PWR

FEED:

activates power feed routines.

FEED?:

feedrate override to increase feedrate.

FEED&

feedrate override to decrease feedrate.

INC

SET: loads incremental dimensions and general data.

ABS

SET:

loads absolute dimensions and general data.

INIMM: causes English to Metric or Metric to English conversion of displayed data.

TAPElRS232: calls

read or write cassette tape program storage and

CAD/CAM

interface routines.

INCIABS:

switches all or one axis from incremental readout to absolute or absolute

incremental

RESTORE:

clears an entry, aborts

keying

procedure, restores

failure or warning

indication, and aborts Math

Help.

STOP:

halts motion during program or

ONE

run.

GO:

continues rnotion after

STOP,

actuates

C for Circle, and P for Pocket.

CONVERSATION: shows prompting messages for the operation during program and

Nn.

SERVOS ON: indicates that the

servo motors and amplifiers are turned on.

POSITION: indicates that the tablelsaddle have stopped moving

and the ProtoTRAK awaits further input.

2.6

Servo Motors

The servo motors are rated 280 in-oz maximum continuous torque which are sufficient

for

the heaviest cuts.

2.7

Ball Screw Assembly

The normal acme leadscrews are replaced with zero backlash ball bearing leadscrews to

provide accurate positioning and precise contouring.

2.8

Tape

Cassette

Deck

(optional)

The cassette deck allows all programs to be saved on tape for future run. The deck is

held in a separateenclosure which

can

be easily moved from one ProtoTRAK to another
