SEQUENCE
This method is normally for setting the zero point of the workpiece at the
edge of the workpiece.
Using a tool that has a measured “Tool length & radius”, move the tool to a known
position on the workpiece. Using either JOG or Handwheel, scratch an edge and then
calculate the zero point of the workpiece.
The process of setting the “X” zero point (“X0”) is described below.
Press the corresponding SK of the first icon on
the right-hand side of the PPU.
Press the appropriate SK to select the feed axis
which needs to be set up.
Press the axis traverse keys to move the tool to
the required setting position in the X axis.
Method 1
Press the “Handwheel” key
on the MCP to position the
tool at the X0 edge of the
workpiece.
Select “Save in” Offset “G54” (or other
offset).
Select “Measuring direction” as “-”.
(This value should be chosen according to
realities)
Set “Distance” as “0”.
Press the “Set WO” SK on the PPU.
“Step 2” must be repeated for the setting of Y and Z zero points.
If you change the tool because of wear/damage during the machining process, you
must remeasure the length of the tool.
