This method is normally for setting the zero point of the work-
piece at the edge of the workpiece.
Method1
Press the corresponding SK of the first
icon on the right-hand side of the PPU.
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 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 set-
ting position in the X axis.
Press the “Handwheel”
key on the MCP to
position the tool at the
X0 edge of the work-
piece.
Set “Distance” as “0”.
Select “Save in” Offset “G54” (or other
offset).
Select “Measuring direction” as “-”.
(This value should be chosen according to
realities)
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.
