Chapter 7 Tool Offset and Setting
251
Ⅱ Operation
coordinate system is (a,b), the setting value of system parameter No.047 should be close
to a,b.
7.4 Coordinates Record
When the trail-cut toolsetting or machine zero return toolsetting is executed, the
coordinates
record function can be used to get the convenient toolsetting operation.
When the toolsetting is executed and after the tool cuts along X (or Z), the following steps
are
executed to directly move the tool to the safety position as follows:
1) Press to enter the tool offset interface, and then press to enter the tool
offset page as follows:
2) Press , absolute corrdinates of X and Z(without including current tool offset
values)are recorded in the CNC. After the absolute values are recorded correctly, there is
a
flash “Record coordinates” in the upper of the screen, and there is a prompt “Current
Absolute coordinates have been recorded” in the bottom of the screen as follows:
3) Retract the tool to the safety position, and stop the spindle. When the diameter is
measured
for the outer circle and the distance from the reference plane to it is done, the measured
value is input in the tool offset page; the system counts the new tool offset value and sets
it

Ⅱ Operation
to the selected tool offset number according to the input value and the previous recorded
absolute coordinates.
Use the following methods to clear the recorded coordinates when the above methods are
used
to execute the toolsetting:
1) In the tool offset page, after the absolute coordinates are input in some tool offset(for
example: Z0 is input in the No.01 tool offset number) and then the axis moves, the
recorded
coordinates are cleared;
2) Press + simultaneously, and the recorded coordinates are cleared;
3) Press in the tool offset page and the recorded coordinates are cleared.
7.5 Setting and Altering the Offset Value
Refer to Section 1.3.3 about methods of entering the offset setting page.
