2.8.22 WORK COORDINATE MULTI-SHIFT (G 50T, G 51)+
This feasure is used in combination with “5.2.3,
Measured Workpiece Value Direct Input” option.
Hence itis necessary for the programmer to be
familiarwith paragraph 5.2.3.
The purpose of this feature is to retain a
“work coordinate system” with a certain point on
the work used as absolute zero point by perform-
ing G 50T coordinate system setting at the replace–
ment position of each tool. In other words, pro-
gramming may be performed with a single coor-
dinate system throughout the entire machining.

Tool coordinate value memory (number)
It is necessary, before specifying G 50T, to
write the coordinate data for each tool to
the tool coordinate memory. For the writ-
ing procedure, see
5.2.3,“Measured Work-
piece
Value Direct Input.”
The number of available tool coordinate
memory units corresponds to the number
of tool offset memory combinations as shown
below.

for tool No. 01 in tool coordinate memory

When the above program is specified with
the tool slide at a given position (for
example, –x, –z in the unit current posi-
tion display) ,
the work coordinate system
defined by the operator is set correctly as
