Set datum for the Z-axis:
• Position the tool so that its tip touches the top surface
of the part.
• Using the keypad, enter "0" into the "Z" field
(or press the Z = 0 softkey).
• Press the
ENTER key.
• Press the
USE key.
Datum has now been established for X, Y, and Z
It's a good idea to test the datum setting before programming. To confirm
that the new datum is correct:
• Raise the tool and move the table until
both the X- and Y-axes displays read
"0.0000."
• Lower the tool until it touches
the part.
• Check the tool's position—the lower left
corner of the part should be directly
beneath the center point of your tool.
• Now check the readout. If the Z-axis display says "0.0000," then the datum is
accurate. If a value other than 0.0000 appears in the Z-axis display, repeat the
procedure for establishing datum.
You can quickly
move to Datum
for X and Y by
pressing the
POS key. Check
that your
position is
0.0000 ABS
for both X and
Y, then press
the GO key.
