Step 3: Set the parameter of tool advance

After the system checks the I/O signals, you can press 【F0】to exit the main interface. Then press 【F4】
to access to the interface for setting the parameters, and press 【F1】to set the parameters for tool advance
of multiple times.
9
Cut depth 1-6: When there is only one time of cutting, you can set cut depth 1 as 100%. If multiple times
of advance are needed, you should set the cut depth for each time according to the proportion between the
absolute cutting depth and the final cutting depth.
Rough tool proportion: It refers to the proportion between the cutting amount of rough tool and the total
cutting amount of the time when double tool is engaged.
Z postposition offset: It refers to the distance from axis Z tool to its cutting point when dual tool is
engaged.
Step 4: Set the Precision

In the main interface, press 【F4】 to access to the parameter-setting page, then press 【F5】to set the
precision. You can roughly set the pulse equivalent according to the segmentation, lead screw’s length per
round and reduction ratio. Normally, when the system is directly connected to the lead screw, the
adjustment value of pulse equivalent is set as 0.001.
Calculation formula: Pulse equivalent=Lead screw’s length per round/segmentation/reduction ratio
Precision adjustment: Setting pulse equivalent
1) Press【F1】and then【F2】to access to the manual interface. After that, press【F1】, the worlds “inching
increment: L=+00000.00”will appear on the screen. At the time, enter the length you desire.Here we

here.
Long axis direction: It is normally set as vertical, unless otherwise specified.
Continuous twist: If the function of continuous twist is enabled, the system will start twist milling on the
basis of file name order after the lathing of dual tool is completed.
8. Direct Imports of CAD Files
1. Graphics
Draw the outline graphin accordance with the actual size, and use the instruction “translation”( )to
move the start point of the graph to the home position of CAD, as shown in the figure.
2． Save as CAD R12/LT2 DXF

If the graph contains splines, you must first save this file as CAD R12/LT2 DXF.
38
3. Re-open the saved CAD R12/LT2 DXF file, and select the item that allows you to see the
change of the spline.
4. Use decomposition instruction to smash the graph.

5. Change the graph into multiple line segments. See details as follows.
Input “PE” and press Enter.
Enter multiple M codes and press Enter, and then select the graph.
Press Enter.
Enter “J” (joint) and press Enter.
39
Enter the fuzzy distance 0.1, and press Enter.
At the time, multi-segment line has already been formed.
6. Save the transformed multi-segment line as CAD R12/LT2 DXF file and use an USB flash
disk to copy it to the controller of MCK300A, where it will be used for machining.
9. Chinesized Software
This system supports DBF type files created by Chinesized software and can directly import them for
machining.
10. Twist Milling

This system supports simple twist milling.
40
As shown in the figure, it is a DXF lathing drawing. If we want to machine a twist pattern on the seciton
between point A and B in the drawing below, we can use the decomposition instruction to smash
the graph afer we open the file.
。
Draw a vertical line from the home position to the end position as the auxiliary line, and make a vertical
line for the auxiliary line by passing point A and B. Then trim it.
The leftover lines from the start point to end point in machinng include: start-point advance line, machining
graph for the concerned segment and retract line. Other graphs are all deleted. The leftover graph serves as
the one for section A-B twist milling.
Referring to the joint method as describled in the section above, enter PE instruction, and combine the
leftover lines into a multi-segment line and save it in R12 format. Then exit.
Access to the parameters interface and make adjustment. Modify the twist proportion and twsit number.
41
Twist proportion:
It refers to the relation between the motion length of the long axis and the rotation angle.
Twist number:
It refers to the relation between the angle of the twist pattern to be machined on the column and the number
to be machined.
After the parameters are set, access to the machining interface. Then swtich to the carpenter milling mode,
and read the graph, align the toll and start machining.
42
Chapter VI Troubleshooting
1． Incorrect Drawing Size
1. Check whether the pulse equivalent is set correctly. To do that, manually press the inching button
and move the axis to the corresponding length to measure it.
2. If the pulse equivalent is correct, compare the read size of CAD graph and the CAD graph itself to
see if there is any deviation.
3. Check whether the tool-alignment point is correctly set.
4. Check whether there any unexpected thing happens during machining, like limit, tool collision,
out-of-step, etc.
5. In the case of dual tool, check whether the offset distance between the front and back of the dual
tool is correctly set.
2．Dead System
1. If the system dies after the files are imported, you can re-start the system and press 【USB FD】to access
to the file edit interface where you can import the correct files. At the same time, you can check the suffix,
file size or the drawn CAD graph to see ifthe imported files are correct.
2. If it is not because of the imported files that cause the death, you can check whether the pulse equivalent
and acceleration are correctly set. Besides, you can restart the system and access to the diagnosis interface
to see if there is any abnormal signal or the key is in effective state all the time.
3. Check “Parameters/Control” to see if the delayed time is set too high.
3．Some Solenoid Valve Doesn’t Work
If the solenoid valve doesn’t work, you can follows the rules below and judge whether it is because of
the damage of the system, the relay or the solenoid itself.
1) Replace it with the solenoid valve of the same model on the equipment to see if it is damaged. Or
give a manual output signal in the auto machining interface and use a multimeter to check
whether there is any voltage signal at the input end of the solenoid valve.
2) If there is no voltage signal from the input end of the solenoid valve, you can open the housing,
and use the same method as above to see if there is any voltage signal on the input end of the
relay so as to judge whether it is damaged.
3) If there is no input voltage signal, the inside of the output end of the CNC system might have
been damaged. In this case, you can replace the output end by following the steps below.
43
4．Inconsistence between Displayed Graph and CAD Drawing
1. When making a CAD drawing, please set the start point to the home position (0,0) of the coordinate
system.
2. Make sure the first start point of the drawing is set on the outmost edge of the graph for machining. If the
drawing is made vertically, the minimum value of X direction should be the start position.
3. Make sure the graph is in the first quadrant of the whole coordinate system.
4. Make sure the drawing has been combined into a multi-segment line.
5. Make sure there is no intersection or enclosure in the drawing.
6. After combination, check whether there is any needless dot or line segment aournd the drawing.
7. Save the drawing in R12 format.
5．Inconsistence between Dual-Tool Machining and Set Proportion
1. Make sure the dual-tool circulation parameter is set correctly.

2. Check whether there is any treatment that the machining times are created by selecting the gradation
function after the graph is imported.
3. Check to see if the nose of the two cutters point to the central axis point.
6．Ineffective Wireless Remote Control
1. Keep the remote control and MCK300A in power-on state.

2. Check whether transmission and reception are in the same channel.
3. Check whether the matching is successful—lamp doesn’t blink any more.
4. Switch to Diagnosis—Remote Control, and check whether the related analog displaying is effective after
you press the key.
7．Low Speed for Scanned Drawing
1. Adjust the machining speed in the parameters.

2. Set a higher value for the scanning interval.
8．USB Flash Disk Can’t Be Identified.
1. Please try to use a USB flash disk whose capacity is less than 2G.
2. Please try to format the USB flash disk to eFAT format.
3. The file system of some USB flash disks have poor compatibility. In this case, check whether the disk is
damaged. If so, change to another one.
9．How to Treat the LOGO Graph
1. Open the drawing board in the accessories of the windows system, and set a picture with pixel as
800*480. Then save it as LOGOC.BMP.
44
2. Copy the file to USB flash disk, insert the disk to the USB port on the system panel. Then press F6
upgrading—USB flashi disk. Copy the file to the system after selection.
10．Reverse Operation Ineffective after Gradation
1. According to the system nature, reverse operation can’t be performed after gradation. Please carry out
the gradation operation after you confirm the machining direction and set the parameters.
