Machine coordinate system is fixed, the origin of coordinates is always a fixed position relative to the machine; Its coordinates is called mechanical values, the origin of coordinates is the origin of the machine or reference point. so that at any time, one point of space can be confirmed by machine coordinate system. Because of reference point is the calculation basis of machine

coordinates movement，powered on or remove all abnormal states ，you need back to zero.

Work coordinate system used more greatly than other coordinates system in processing.Usually in processing, we describe a processing position is always relative to a certain point on the workpiece, whereas the workpiece on the machine tool's position relative to the mechanical origin is often change, so it is necessary to introduce a set of more convenient coordinate system during processing, this is work coordinate system.The origin of work

2.Up after tool setting

Fixed calibration refers to measurement operation at a certain fixed position on the machine. During actual maching,tool length and tool holder position will change after tool change

because of tool breakage or other reasons.On this occasion,users can conduct fixed calibration to re-confirm the tool length offset.

Instructions：

1) Set tool sensor position

Get into ―MACHINE SETUP-C.A.D Position‖ to set tool sensor position,including

―Inplace‖&―Inposition‖

Inposition:Press― ‖,screen displays―Press OK key to set point position by manual mode,it’s very simple but not accurate,press cancel to set by number‖. Recommend manual mode.

Inplace:Move X,Y,Z axis above the tool sensor,press ― ‖+― ‖.

9.5.2 Mobile calibration

Mobile calibration can be used to set workpiece origin of Z axis by executing measurement at the current pisiton.This measurement type will set the workpiece offset according to the calibration result and the following calculation equation.Relationship between workpiece offset and calibration result is as shown below:

Workpiece offset=Mobile calibration result-Tool sensor thickness-Public offset-Tool offset

Generally,the factory setting value of public offset and tool offset is 0,so

Workpiece offset=Mobile calibration result-Tool sensor thickness

After mobile calibration,system will set Z axis workpiece origin automatically.

9.6.3 Proportion calculation method

If there is an error according to the formula or no relevant data to calculate, it can be calculated according to the proportion method. Suppose handle pulse equivalent A, press "

" switching to distance mode,set a distance B, measuring the number of actual moving

distance C, then the actual pulse equivalent = A × B ÷ C.

For example: Suppose handle pulse equivalent A = 400, f distance B = 100, actual distance C = 80, then the actual pulse equivalent = 400 × 100 ÷ 80 = 500

Repeat until you get the correct pulse equivalent.
