Tool Setting; Centered (M Series); Single Axis Centered - Adtech ADTECH4 CNC Series Maintenance Manual

4.6 Tool setting

Tool setting is the main operation and important skill during CNC processing. Under certain conditions,
tool setting precision can determine the processing precision of parts, and the tool setting efficiency also
affects the CNC processing efficiency directly. CNC46XX has M series tool setting mode and L series tool
setting mode, while M series has two tool setting methods, i.e. centered and tool regulator, and L series uses
test cutting.
4.6.1.

Centered (M series)

The centered function is that the system calculates the center position of the workpiece automatically
while tool setting to realize segment centered, rectangle centered and circle center location.

Note
In the tool setting operation below, if the auxiliary parameters of the coordinate system doesn't need setting,
the first three steps can be omitted. Please refer to chapter 9.5 for auxiliary parameters of the coordinate
system.

(1) Single axis centered

 Select the edit mode;
 Press [Coordinates], [Coordinates Parameter] to enter the auxiliary parameters setting
interface of the coordinate system;
 Move the cursor to desired position, enter new parameters and press [EOB];
 Select hand wheel or manual mode;
 Press [Coordinates] to enter coordinate system setting interface;
 Press the left/right arrow to move the cursor to select coordinate system;
 Press [Centered Measurement] to enter centered interface;
 Move the tool to make its side blade touch side A surface of the workpiece, and press
[EOB] to record boundary point 1;
 Move the tool to make its side blade touch side B surface of the workpiece, and press
[EOB] to record boundary point 2;
 Press [EOB] to calculate the coordinates of center point;
