Working area and help positions
Zero point as
origin of the
workpiece
coordinates
The zero point can also be defined manually. To do this, it is
necessary to move to the required position using jog movement and
then save this as the new zero point. The positions of the axes can
also be saved individually.
The unit is millimeters and the lengths represent the absolute distance
from the machine reference point (machine coordinates).
Park position
Defined position
for breaks
It is necessary to define a park position if the machine slide is to be
moved out of the working area at certain times. This may be
necessary for a tool change, for example, or for clamping the
workpiece.
It is also possible to make this definition during jog movement by
moving into position with the keyboard or mouse.
The parked position can be moved to in jog movement or
automatically during a tool change and at the end of a working
process.
The unit is millimeters and the distances are measured from the
machine reference point (machine coordinates).
Scaling factors
It is possible to compensate for calibration differences using the
scaling factors. If both the axis resolution and the unit of
measurement are set correctly but the machine does not move to the
exact length nevertheless, this problem can be corrected using the
scaling factors.
The values must be specified to 3 decimal places and are used for
multiplying the coordinate values to which the machine is to move. It
affects the imported NC data only.
