6

Jog Handle: As Needed

  • Select jog direction and use handle as required to place edge finder stylus alongside the left part edge.

7

Jog Increment: .001

  • Move edge finder slowly until it just trips off center as shown below.
  • This places the center of the spindle exactly .100 from the part edge.


8

Jog Handle: Retract in Z

  • Jog straight upward in Z until edge finder is above part and jog handle reads zero on the dial.

9

Jog Handle: Set jog direction to +X and rotate handle one full turn clockwise.

  • Since the control is in .001 increment mode, rotating the dial exactly one full turn places the center of the spindle directly over the left part edge.

  • Select Offset button and PgUp/PgDn buttons until Work Zero Offset page appears. Use Arrow keys to highlight G54 (or whatever fixture offset is to be set).

11

Part Zero Set: Select

  • This sets the G54 X value to the current spindle position.

Tips

  • To shift the datum RIGHT in relation to the machine operator, ADD a shift amount to the offset X-value. For example, to shift X+.1, input .1 WRITE/ENTER.
  • To shift the datum CLOSER to the machine operator, SUBTRACT a shift amount from the offset Y-value. For example, to shift Y-.1, input -.1 WRITE/ENTER.

The following instructions repeat steps 6-11 but for setting the Y-axis.
