Working area and monitoring working area
Software area
monitoring
The working area defines the section, e. g. for marking material
dimensions. Limits are visible in the graphical display and it is
immediately recognizable whether milling or engraving can be
effected with the material piece. A check is made when job starts.
Maximum plunge
depth for Z-axis
The working area for the Z-axis determines the maximum plunge
depth to which tools can move without damaging the bed of the
machine.
These paramaters are not to be mixed up with the values determining
the size of the machine table and thereby the maximum moving area.
The unit is millimeters and the distances are measured from the
machine reference point (machine coordinates).
Zero point
The zero point refers to the reference point of the coordinates in the
working file. It is the position with a specific X and Y-axis
coordinate within the NC file, e.g. the left-hand bottom corner. All
processing distances are measured from here.

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).
