Corrections After Measurement Of The Zero Point - Siemens SINUMERIK Series Operating Manual

Corrections after measurement of the zero point

If you store the workpiece zero in a work offset, changes to the coordinate system or axis
positions might be necessary in the following cases.
● Correcting the work offset causes the workpiece coordinate system to rotate, after which
the tool can be aligned perpendicularly to the plane.
● Correcting the work offset necessitates positioning of the rotary axis in order to align the
workpiece parallel with the coordinate system
Activation windows help you to adapt the coordinate system and the axis positions.
