Setting The Origin (Home Position And Z0) - Roland CAMM-3 PNC-300 User Manual

8. Setting the Origin (Home Position and Z0)

The PNC-300 are suitable for use with a versatile range of workpiece shapes and a wide variety of tools, so determine the standard
points for cutting each time a new workpiece is set. Set the home position (origin point for X an Y axes) and Z0 (Z axis origin point).
(If these points can be set with your current software, they should be set using the software.)
Setting the Home Position
The home position is the point that becomes the origin point in the X and Y directions. Usually, this point is set at the front left corner of
the fixed workpiece. The setting method explained here, uses the left, bottom corner (nearest the operator) of the workpiece as the home
position.
The home position points are registered in the PNC-300 memory right after power is turned on and before power is turned off.
