3.1.2 Workpiece co o rdinate system (G92)
Prior to machining, a coordinate system for the workpiece, the so--called workpiece
coordinate system, needs to be established. This section describes the various
methods of how to set, select, and change a workpiece coordinate system.
How to set a workpiece coordinate system
The following two methods can be used to set a workpiece coordinate system:
1. Using G92
A workpiece coordinate system is set by determining a value subsequent to
G92 within the program.
2. Manually, using the HMI panel
