3-4 Moving the Tool
Selection of the Coordinate System
Select the coordinate system that is used to display the tool location in VPanel. The selection made
here only determines the displaying method of coordinates. With the actual origin point, you need to
perform the setting individually for the coordinate system that is used with the cutting data. When the
command set is RML-1, it may be a good idea to leave the selection at "User Coordinate System" at all
times. G54 to 59 and EXOFS can be selected only when "NC Code" or "Selected automatically (RML-1/
NC Code)" is selected for the command set.
User Coordinate System: This is a coordinate system in which the location of the origin point can
be freely changed.
Machine Coordinate System: This is a machine-specific coordinate system in which the location of
the origin point is fixed and cannot be changed.
G54 to 59: This is a workpiece coordinate system for NC code. For the details, refer to "NC Code
Reference Guide".
EXOFS: This is used with the NC-code mode. For the details, refer to "NC Code Reference Guide."
Changing the Unit of Measurement for Display
You can switch the unit of measurement used for displaying coordinates between millimeters and
inches. Click the [Preference], then select the unit.
