10.2 Starting to Run
Before running a part, you need to establish the position relationship
between the part and tool. That is, you need to be certain that when the
readout displays X=0 ABS and Z=0 ABS for any input tool, then that tool is
at the program absolute zero of the part. To do this:
a.
Enter the DRO Mode.
b.
Load a tool and call up its Tool #.
c.
Load a part.
d.
Move to a known position on the part.
