4.6 Measuring the workpiece zero

Settable work offsets

The labeling of the softkeys for the settable work offsets varies, i.e. the settable work offsets

configured on the machine are displayed (examples: G54...G57, G54...G505, G54...G599).

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Automatic measurement

Select the "Measure workpiece zero" function (see steps 1 and 2 above).

Specify whether you want "Measurement only" or in which work offset

you want to store the zero point.

● Enter the infeed value in "DZ" to determine the measuring depth.

● In field "L" enter the length (1st geometry axis of the working plane)

and in field "W" the width (2nd geometry axis of the working plane) of

● Enter the approximate diameter of the spigot into "Øspigot".
