
The tool slowly descends until it contacts the sensor. When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete.
If the tool sensor is not detected, check the following points:
 Each cable is connected firmly.
 The front and back sides of the tool sensor are not reversed. (See the figure in the step .)
 No cutting waste and the like is present on the tool sensor, the terminal part of the sensor cable, and tool.
Quitting Detection
When you want to stop the descending tool, press the [Z0 SENSE] key.
Important Notes on Selecting the Coordinate System
When [MACHINE] is selected in step Õ, no origins can be set.
Coordinate Systems in the RML-1 Mode
 USER: User coordinate system
Coordinate Systems in the NC-code Mode
 G54: Workpiece coordinate system 1 (G54)
 G55: Workpiece coordinate system 2 (G55)
 G56: Workpiece coordinate system 3 (G56)
 G57: Workpiece coordinate system 4 (G57)
 G58: Workpiece coordinate system 5 (G58)
 G59: Workpiece coordinate system 6 (G59)
To Make the Tool Descend Rapidly
When it takes a long time for the tool to make contact with the sensor, turn the hand wheel on the handy panel counterclock-
wise. Be careful not to make the tool collide with the sensor. A collision makes accurate detection impossible. If a collision
occurs, redo the operation from the beginning.
5-5 Setting the Origins
Hold down the [Z0 SENSE] key until
an audible beep is sounded.
