System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
Keys displayed in the Edit Mode:
Operation of the work coordinate systems G92 and G52 are discussed in Section 4 page 294
(G92) and page 257 (G52). These parameters are positions relative to the machine zero and will
become the new zero point when they are used. The F4 (Mach) key in the edit mode enters the
current machine position as the work coordinate zero point for X, Y, and Z axes. The F5 (M-XY)
enters the coordinates for X and Y axis only. The F6 (M-Z) enters the coordinate for the Z axis
only.
F3 (TOOL) Main-Parms-Tool
The F3 (Tool) key brings up the following screen.
The cursor will default to the active tool number.
The process of editing on this screen is the same as on all the other Parms (parameters) screens.
The F3 tool selection brings up both the H tool length table and the D tool radius table. A value
typed into T04 length is entered into H04 as well. A value typed into T04 radius is likewise
entered into D04. This entry screen exists mostly for convenience and is helpful if H and D
offsets are associated with their corresponding T numbers.
Note: The control can be changed to use tool radii instead of diameters. When editing a tool
offset, the current value is displayed to the right of the value being edited, so small values can
easily be added or subtracted from the offsets.
