Description

Task of the coordinate system

By selection of a coordinate system (CS), the machining coordinate system (BKS) can be offset and rotated with respect to the machine coordinate system (MKS) (see Figure 1-1). This enables simple NC programming even in slanted or twisted positions.

NC program coordinates refer to the machining coordinate system.

Offsets

Selection of a coordinate system generates an additional offset of the machining coordinate system. In total, the following offsets are available in the CNC system:

• Offset due to a coordinate system selection
• Offset due to a measurement run
• Offset due to manual operation in the case of parallel interpolation
• Offset due to position preset
• Reference point offset
• Tool offset
• Zero offset
• Clamping position offset
