4.1.6 Workpiece Position Measurement Function (M System)
The workpiece position measurement function is used to measure each axis' coordinate point by the
sensor installed on the spindle contacting the workpiece with the manual feed or handle feed.
The surface, hole center and width center coordinates are calculated from the measured coordinates,
and those calculated results are set in the workpiece coordinate offset.
Only 1st part system is available for the workpiece position measurement.
(1) Surface workpiece offset measurement procedure
1)
Perform an operation such as a
reference point return to position the
tool on the reference point.
2)
Turn ON the measurement switch on
the machine operation board.
3)
Move the sensor near the workpiece
using manual feed and manual
handle feed.
4)
Put the sensor in contact with the
workpiece in the X-axis direction.
5)
Set the setting number of workpiece
coordinate system, then press the
INPUT key.
#( 54 )( 123.456 )(
6)
Carry out the operations in steps 3)
to 5) in the same way for the Y-axis
and Z-axis.

4.1 Workpiece Coordinate
The message " WLM " appears.
Automatic re-contact movements are
performed by the axis at the time of
contact.
The measurement coordinate value
of the moved axis is displayed to the
setting column.
#(
)( 123.456 )(
)(
The value that subtracted external
workpiece offset value from the
measurement value is set to the
X-axis specified workpiece coordinate
system offset.
The setting column will change to
blanks.
