Description
This tool sets the Coordinate Offset fixture of the machine CNC controller.
This is configured by a drop-menu, to target Offset Fixtures G53 to G59, by inserting the G-Code into the Job. The G-Code is simply the Fixture (G53, G54, etc...). Typically, the coordinate offset fixtures represent:
- G53 -> Machine coordinate system.
- G54 -> Scratchpad coordinate system.
- G55 to G59 -> Coordinate fixtures allowing work offsets, relative to Homing switches located on the CNC machine, to be used.
- G59 allows extension from G59.1 to G59.255 on many CNC Controllers.
Usage
- Press the Fixture button
- Select the desired fixture from the drop-menu.
