    The document introduces some key concepts of computer numerical control (CNC) milling including: 1) CNC machines use a coordinate system to precisely control tool movements with positions defined by zero points. 2) The simplest coordinate system has two perpendicular axes that intersect at the zero point. 3) More complex systems use three perpendicular axes (X,Y,Z) to represent 3D workpieces. 4) Machine, reference, and workpiece zero points are established to define positions within the coordinate system.

    COORDINATE SYSTEM
    A coordinate system is used for controlling the tool movements. The position of
    the coordinate system is determined within the CNC milling by zero points.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 4


    COORDINATE SYSTEM
    The simplest form of a coordinate system for NC programming
    consists of 2 axes intersecting at right angles. The intersection is
    the zero point of the coordinate system.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 5


    COORDINATE SYSTEM
    A coordinate system with 2 axes allows precise description /
    definition of all the points (corner points, circle centers, etc.) in a
    workpiece drawing. (two-dimensional coordinate system). The shape
    of a workpiece is normally described accurately by the workpiece drawing
    and its dimensions.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 6


    COORDINATE SYSTEM
    If the position of the workpiece within the coordinate system is altered,
    the following coordinate values may results.
    Please note in each case: Signs (+,-).

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 7


    COORDINATE SYSTEM
    To be able to represent "3-D workpieces", we need a coordinate
    system with three axes. The coordinate axes are named after the
    "Right-hand rule"

    ZERO & REFERENCE POINTS OF
    MILLING MACHINE
    Reference Point R
    Serve for calibrating and for
    controlling the measuring
    system of the slide and the
    tool traverse. The position of
    the reference point is
    accurately predetermined in
    every traverse axis by trip
    dogs and limit switches.
    Therefore, the reference
    point coordinates always
    have the same, precisely
    known numerical value in
    relation to the machine zero
    point.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 9


    ZERO & REFERENCE POINTS OF
    MILLING MACHINE
    Reference Point R

    After initiating the control


    system, the reference point
    must always be approached
    from all axes to calibrate the
    traverse measuring system.

    This reference point is only


    necessary in controls with
    incremental measuring of length
    because the actual value can
    be lost at power failure.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 10


    ZERO & REFERENCE POINTS OF
    MILLING MACHINE
    Machine Zero Point M
    The machine zero point M is
    invariable, fixed in the origin of
    the machine’s system of
    coordinates. It is driven over
    by all machine slides and all
    coordinates indications are put
    to 0.

    Chapter 4 INTRODUCTION TO CNC MILLING 11


    ZERO & REFERENCE POINTS OF
    MILLING MACHINE
    Workpiece Zero Point W
    The workpiece zero point is
    identical with the origin of the
    system of coordinates. The
    programmer selects it at will and
    specifies that point on the
    drawing where all measures
    come from. The difference
    between M and W is given to the
    control as a zero offset. So all
    program coordinates refer to this
    workpiece zero point.

    STORE ZERO OFFSET
    The workpiece zero point is located at a distance defined
    by its coordinate values from the machine zero point in
    the coordinate axes X, Y and Z; this distance is know as
    the shift.
    When workpiece zero point (RESET AXIS) is set, this shift
    is automatically transferred to the CNC control system
    and stored in memory for zero point shifts under G52.
    The CNC control system will recognize the workpiece
    zero point for the required workpiece machining
    operation as zero point shifts under level 0.
