Position Steps
This step lets you program a positioning move. You can preset up to four axes
at once. The dimension in each axis can be absolute or incremental.
P
OINT —press an axis key to specify which
direction you wish to move. Enter the
dimension. If the dimension is incremental,
press the
ABS
INCR
key and enter the number of
the step you want to reference. The
reference step must precede the current step
in the program.
Use the arrow keys or the ENTER key to
move from one axis to another.

This becomes Step 002. It will be
the reference step for Step 003.

This becomes Step 003. Notice that the Z
dimension is measured incrementally from
Step 002.
We’ll use 2 Position Steps to make
this part. This example assumes
that the X axis reads in diameter
and that Step 001 is a tool step.
