MACHINE COORDINATE
SYSTEM
A coordinate system used for machining a workpiece is referred to as a
workpiece coordinate system. A workpiece coordinate system is to be set
with the CNC beforehand (setting a workpiece coordinate system).
A machining program sets a workpiece coordinate system (selecting a
workpiece coordinate system).
A set workpiece coordinate system can be changed by shifting its origin
(changing a workpiece coordinate system).
A workpiece coordinate system can be set using one of three methods:
(1)Method using G92 (G50 for G code system A)
A workpiece coordinate system is set by specifying a value after G92
(G50) in the program.
(2)Method of using G54 to G59
Six workpiece coordinate systems are set in advance, using the MDI
panel, and the workpiece coordinate system to be used is selected
using program commands G54 to G59.
