NOTE/SET Function

The NOTE/SET function can be used to set a tool’s offset when a tool
is under load and the diameter of the workpiece is not known. See Fig.
I.80.

The NOTE/SET function is useful when determining tool data by
touching the workpiece. To avoid losing the position value when the
tool is retracted to measure the workpiece, this value can be stored by
pressing NOTE.

To use the NOTE/SET function:

Press the NOTE/SET soft key.

Select an axis key, such as X.

Turn the first diameter in the X axis.

Press the NOTE soft key.

Retract from the current position.

Measure the workpiece distance.

Enter the measured distance or radius, for example,
15 mm and press ENT.

Press USE.
