This method is normally used for setting the workpiece zero point at the
center point of a rectangular workpiece.
Using tools with a measured “length and radius”, move them to the four edges of the
rectangular workpiece. Using either JOG or Handwheel, scratch an edge and then
calculate the zero point of the workpiece.
Press the corresponding SK of the second icon on
the right-hand side of the PPU.
Press the ”Save P1” SK on the PPU to save the
coordinate axis of the 1st position in the system.
Observing the figure on the PPU, move the coordinate axis following the orange arrow
to move the tool to the specified position and scratch the edge of the workpiece.
Repeat the process for positions 2, 3 and 4.
(When the setting is complete, the buttons will be
shown in blue.)
Press the “Set WO” SK on the PPU.
You have then finished
setting the zero point of
the workpiece as the
center point of the
rectangular workpiece.

This method is normally used for setting the zero points at the center
point of a circular workpiece.
Using tools with a measured “length and radius”, move them to the three edges of the
circular workpiece. Using either JOG or Handwheel, scratch an edge and then calculate
the zero point of the workpiece.
Press the corresponding SK of the third icon on
the right-hand side of the PPU.
Press the ”Save P1” SK on the PPU to save the
coordinate axis of the 1st position in the system.
Observing the figure on the PPU, move the coordinate axis following the orange arrow
to move the tool to the specified position and scratch the edge of the workpiece.
Repeat the process for positions 2 and 3.
(When the setting is complete, the buttons will be
shown in blue.)
Press the “Set WO” SK on the PPU.
You have then finished
setting the zero point of the
workpiece as the center
point of the circular
workpiece.
