Click Yes. The X-axis workpiece coordinate of the current point becomes 0.
3.7.2 Centering
Two types of centering are supported: line centering and circle centering. Line centering is
mostly used to locate the center of regular rectangle work pieces while circle centering
circular work pieces.
Taking line centering for the X axis as an example, follow the steps below:
1. In Manual mode, go to Machine > Centering in the menu bar to open the Center
window:
2. Optional: To change the workpiece coordinate system, click the WCS pull-down
menu. Workpiece coordinate systems of G54–G59 are supported. The default
workpiece coordinate system is G54.
3. Set Centering Type to Line.
4. Optional: If an edge finder is used for more accurate positioning, follow the steps
below:
a. In the Spindle speed field, enter the target spindle speed during centering. Its
value should not be too large and is set to 500 (r/min) by default.
b. Click Start Center to make it highlighted in green.
5. Click the X+ / X- button to make the X axis move to one end of the work piece. Click
Record X to record the X-axis mechanical coordinate of the current point into the
system.
6. Click the X+ / X- button to make the X axis move to the other end of the work piece.
Click Center X. The system automatically calculates the X-axis midpoint
