Manage Offsets

Offsets include the following:

• Workpiece offset: the distance between the workpiece origin and the machine origin.

• Public offset: the distance of the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis relative to the machine origin for all workpiece coordinate systems.

• Tool offset: the distance between the tool and standard tool. The relationship between workpiece coordinate and offsets is as follows:

Workpiece coordinate  = Machine coordinate - Workpiece offset - Public offset - Tool offset

To manage offsets, do the following:

1. To switch to Offset Manage window, in the function window area, click Offset Manage

   

2. To set the workpiece offset, do the following:

   1. In Workpiece Offset area, select the target workpiece coordinate system from G54 to G56, and click Modify.

   2. To set the current position to the workpiece offset, input the workpiece offset of each axis, and click Set.

3. To set the public offset, in Public Offset area, input the public offset of each axis.

4. Optional: To adjust Z-axis public offset, do one of the following:

   • To lift Z-axis 0.01mm / 0.1mm / 1mm, click 0.01 / 0.1 / 1 after L to.

   • To deepen Z-axis 0.01mm / 0.1mm / 1mm, click 0.01 / 0.1 / 1 after D.
