By manipulating soft keys, a position value displayed on the relative
position display can be set to the offset memory.
Call offset value display screen on the screen. Relative positions are also
displayed on this screen. Reset the displayed relative position to zero.
Set the tool for measurement at the same fixed point on the machine by
hand. The relative position display at this point shows difference between
the reference tool and the tool measured and the relative position display
value is then set as offset amounts.
By directly entering the measured deviation of the actual coordinate
system from a programmed workpiece coordinate system, the workpiece
zero point offset at the cursor is automatically set so that a command value
matches the actual measurement.
To enable measurement of the tool length, the following functions are
supported: automatic measurement of the tool length by using a program
command (G37) (automatic tool length measurement, described in
Section 17.6) and measurement of the tool length by manually moving the
tool until it touches a reference position, such as the workpiece top surface
(tool length measurement, described in Section 17.8). In addition to these
functions, tool length/workpiece origin measurement B is supported to
simplify the tool length measurement procedure, thus facilitating and
reducing the time required for machining setup. This function also
facilitates the measurement of the workpiece origin offsets.
This function allows the operator to specify T/M code commands or
reference position return, by means of a manual numeric command, while
the tool length offset measurement screen is displayed.
