14.5 Workpiece presetting without a touch probe

14.5 Workpiece presetting without a

touch probe

Note

You fix a preset by setting the TNC position display to the coordinates

of a known position on the workpiece.

Preparation

 Clamp and align the workpiece

 Insert the zero tool with known radius into the spindle

 Ensure that the TNC is showing the actual position values

Workpiece presetting with a touch probe: See "Workpiece

presetting with a touch probe" on page 608.
