Example Of Setting The Z-Axis Origin - Roland ZAT-540 User Manual

5-3 Examples of Usage of Tool-length Offset (NC-code Mode)

Example of Setting the Z-axis Origin

Procedure

Use manual tool-change to grasp any one of the tools.
You may grasp any tool whose adjustment value has already been registered.

Set the Z-axis origin for the gripped tool.
Do this regardless of whether blade alignment was performed manually or by using a tool sensor.

Return the tool to the magazine.
Important Note on Setting the Z-axis Origin
The procedure described above is valid only when offset No. 1 is assigned to stocker No. 1, offset No. 2 is assigned to stocker
No. 2, and so on. Even when you want to make no associations between stocker numbers and offset numbers, it's necessary
for the stocker number to be identical to the offset number for at least one tool. Set the Z-axis origin for a tool whose stocker
number and offset number are the same.
