12.2.2 Zero point shift function
Pr. 48 Zero point return speed
Machine zero point return start
When a machine zero point return is carried out, the zero point is normally established
using the near-point dog, stopper, and zero point signal. However, by using the zero
point shift function, the machine can be moved a designated movement amount from
the position where the zero point signal was detected. A mechanically established zero
point can then be interpreted at that point.
The zero point shift function can be used without relation to " Pr.45 Zero point return
method".
The details shown below explain about the "zero point shift function".
