TIP
If the axis was specified in the scale reference point recall operation, the saved origin
data will be called up, however it is possible to key in a different value using the ten-key
pad.
Step 2 Move the machine table and detect the same scale reference point that was
saved by the scale reference point save operation. At the instant the reference
point is detected, the KA counter starts counting. The machining datum point is
recalled.
IMPORTANT
The scale reference point is set at 50mm intervals along the Linear Scale, so find the
scale reference point that was saved by the save operation.
NOTE
If datum setting and machining is performed without having recalled the scale reference
point prior to work, and if it is necessary that the machining datum point be saved for
future work, save the scale reference point as described in 1) above, then turn off the
display ON/OFF switch.
• About the machine origin (Coordinate 0 is used.)
The user is allowed to set specifically for each machine a reference point (machine
origin) that will not be affected by the normal operation including zero-point setting.
(1) Setting the machine origin data
Obtain the machine origin data (offset value) with the following procedure, then set
it to Parameter 33.
1. On Coordinate 1, zero-set at the position of the machine origin.
2. Perform the scale origin memorizing operation.
3. If the axis designation key is pressed following the having been pressed
in 2) Recalling the scale reference point, the origin data (offset value) will be
displayed.
Take a note of this value and set it to Parameter 33.
For the setting method refer to Chapter 4, Parameters.
(2) Recalling the machine origin
On Coordinate 0, perform the above described “2) Recalling the scale reference
point”.
