[SETTING] Submenu
OPTIONAL ORIGIN
Saved Yes
Setting X, Y, and Z coordinates settable on the machine
Default None
This registers a special workpiece origin point referenced by a sequence. You can register up to 99 (No. 2 through 100). You
specify all three of the X, Y, and Z axes, without division into one origin for the X and Y axes and one for the Z axis. An optional
origin point differs from the workpiece origin points (the home position and the Z0 position) set with the machine, and is exclu-
sively for the teaching function.
You can use the [SEL ORG] command to temporarily make a optional origin point the reference point for cutting. You can freely
set and select specify 99 reference points for cutting. When you want to carry out identical cutting successively at different
locations, using this command makes it possible for you to reduce the number of steps and change the cutting location without
having to edit the sequence.
Be careful to note that the locations of the optional origins are determined with reference to the home position and Z0 position set
on the machine. If you change the home position or the Z0 position, the locations of all 99 optional origins also change.
BREAK POINT
Saved Yes
Setting ENABLE, DISABLE
Default ENABLE
This sets whether the [BREAK] command is enabled or disabled. When this is set to [DISABLE], the machine does not go into
standby state when a [BREAK] command appears in a sequence.
STEP RUN
Saved Yes
Setting OFF, ON
Default OFF
When this is set to [ON], the machine goes into standby after executing each step, then proceeds to the next step when you press
any button. This is handy when you want to verify the operation of a sequence.
LABEL SELECT
Saved Yes
Setting OFF, ON
Default OFF
This sets whether you can select a label location for starting execution when executing a sequence. When this is set to [OFF], no
[LABEL SELECT] screen appears at the RUN menu.
I LEVEL R LEVEL
Saved Yes
Setting -4,250 to 4,250 (1 step = 0.01 mm)
Default 0
These set special values for specifying the spindle height in a sequence. You specify the spindle height as the number of millime-
ters above (positive value) or below (negative value) the Z0 position. These values are used by the [MOVE-ZI], [CUT-ZI], and
[CUT-ZM] commands.
Selecting an optional origin in a sequence using the [SEL ORG] command makes the I level and R level change to locations that
reference the selected optional origin.
