7. Machine Basic Operation
7.1 ZRN Operation
Please do return each axis to the home position in order to establish a reference position
For the coordinate auto-run movement.
7.1.1 Operation Steps
(1) Press【POS】to display the coordinate function button.
(2) Press【ALL】to display all of the coordinate value.
(3) Check Machine Coordinates Value:
RELATIVE : The coordinate value based on the assigned position
ABSOLUTE : The coordinate value based on Cartesian coordinate zero point
MACHINE : The point that is specific to a machine and serves
as the reference of the machine is referred to as the machine zero point
DISTANCE TO GO: Shows the distance from the current tool position.

(4) Change to【ZRN】mode (Zero Return).
(5) Press [+Z] of the Axial Movement Panel, Z axis starts to move toward reference point,
When ZRN light up means the Z axis has return to reference point,
and machine coordinate is 0
(6) Press [+X], X axis starts to move toward reference point rapidly
When ZRN light up means X axis has return to reference point,
and machine coordinate is 0.
(7) Press [+Y], Y axis starts to move toward reference point rapidly
When ZRN light up means the Y axis has return to reference point,
and machine coordinate is 0


7.2 Work Coordinate Setting (Offset)
7.2.1 Definition of Work Coordinate
Controller needs to set accurate zero point in order to cut correctly.
In general, the zero point of work coordinate is built at the center position
on the top of the workpiece in milling
(1) Need to reset the correct work coordinates after changing workpiece
(2) Need to reset the tool geometry (length) offset value after changing tool
(The figure which takes the spindle conical degrees major diameter as the reference tool length)



EXT X = Not used. (Generally set as zero)
EXT Y = Not used. (Generally set as zero)
EXT Z = The machine coordinate between bottom of spindle head to the bed
Zero point of work coordinate:
G54 X =The value of axis X machine coordinate (generally in negative number)
G54 Y= The value of axis Y machine coordinate (generally in negative number)
G54 Z= Machine coordinates is based on the point from the bottom of the spindle
to the top of the workpiece
(H) = Length of each tool
7.2.2 Work Coordinate Setting –Use Edge Finder

(b) Touch the workpiece with edge finder, stop when light up
(c) When rotating the Handwheel one scale back and the light is off,
switch Handwheel feedrate to x10.
(d) Touch the workpiece with edge finder, stop when light up
(e) When rotating the Handwheel one scale back and the light is off,
switch Handwheel feedrate to x1

(3) Use edge finder to touch the workpiece from the back and measure the needed position
(4) Check and record current Y machine coordinate e.g.-210.002

(5) The average of two coordinates value will be the center of Y axis
e.g. Y axis work coordinates offset value, (-319.998-210.002)/2=-265.000
(6) Press【OFS/SET】
