Axes-related enabling/disabling of zero offset (G160)

G160 = <index> <axis_name><flag> (modal)

G160 Axis-related activation of zero offsets

<index> List index of zero offsets data record

<axis_name><flag> Axis with validity flag for its zero offset

For each zero offset data record <index> previously by setting of the parameters [3]-3 it can be defined, for which axes <axis_name> the offset is or is not to be included in the calculation. This means, individual axis offsets can be disabled or enabled.

This axis specific validity of a zero offset can be changed via G160 in the NC program.

Programming example

Before the selection of G55 (zero offsets data record with index 2) the offsets of the X and Z axis are disabled and of the Y axis enabled.

: 
N10 G160 = 2 X1 Y0 Z1 
N20 G55 
: 

So in the next motion block only the enabled axis offsets of G55 are included in the movement (Y axis).
