Mill Part Setup (Without Part Probe)

Part Setup Screen

Note: the default configuration for the part setup screen is in the Universal Rotary setting. Regardless of the machine configuration (3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis) there will be data fields for a IV and V axis. This is normal, and the fields can be ignored for standard 3-axis machines.

45www.HURCO.com

1. Press INPUT on control panel2. Select PART SETUP softkey3. Jog the desired axis into position using the hand-

wheel4. Place the cursor in the corresponding data field for

the desired axis5. Select the STORE MACHINE POSITION softkey6. Verify the data is correct

46 www.HURCO.com

Note: the SHIFT field can be used to incrementally shift the Z-axis. For example: a value of 2.0000” will shift the Z-axis zero in the positive direction by two inches. Both positive and negative values can be input.
