Note
Settable zero offsets
The labeling of the softkeys for the settable zero offsets varies, i.e. the settable zero offsets
configured on the machine are displayed (examples: G54...G57, G54...G505, G54...G599).
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Specify working area limitations

Using the "Working area limitation" function you can limit the range within which a tool can
traverse in all channel axes. This function allows you to set up protection zones in the working
area that are inhibited for tool motion.
In this way, you are able to restrict the traversing range of the axes in addition to the limit
switches.
Requirements
You can only make changes in "AUTO" mode when in the RESET condition. These changes
are then immediate.
You can make changes in "JOG" mode at any time. These changes, however, only become
active at the start of a new motion.

Press the "Select ZO" softkey to select a settable zero offset.
In the "Zero Offset – G54 ... G599" window, select a zero offset, in which
the zero point should be saved.
Press the "In manual" softkey.
You return to the measurement window.
5. Use the softkeys to select in which axis direction you want to approach
the workpiece first.
6. In X0, Y0, or Z0, specify the setpoint position of the workpiece edge.
The setpoint position corresponds, e.g. to the dimension specifications of
the workpiece edge from the workpiece drawing.
