Step 1
Ascertain the center point of the center of rotation of the C axis using the
3-D touch probe (= X1 and Y1); set X = 0 and Y = 0.
Step 2
 Probe surface Z (= Z1)
 Set Z = 0
Step 3
Determining the Z offset:
 Position A = –90
 Probe at test mandrel
 ΔZ = radius of test mandrel +
Z display
Step 4
Determining the Y offset:
 Probe surface Z
 ΔY = Display Y
Step 4
 0.5 * (ΔZ – ΔY)
 0.5 * (ΔZ + ΔY)
 Entry of the values in the description table as indicated above
