Tool Position Point: This is the reference point for the tool, also known as the focus point during tool setting, which is typically a specific point on the tool itself.
Starting Point: The starting point is where the tool begins its movement relative to the workpiece, marking the initial position of the tool at the start of the machining program. It often also serves as the endpoint of the program.
Tool Setting Point and Tool Setting: The tool setting point is used to determine the relative position between the tool and the workpiece. It establishes the relationship between the workpiece coordinate system and the machine coordinate system. Tool setting involves placing the tool position point at the tool setting point to establish the workpiece coordinate system.
Tool Setting Reference Point: This is a benchmark used to determine the position of the tool setting point. It can be a point, line, or surface located on the workpiece, fixture, or machine.
Tool Setting Reference Point: This point represents the position of the tool holder, tool post, or tool turret within the machine coordinate system, also known as the tool holder center or tool reference point.
Z-axis tool setter
Install the Tool: Mount the tool on the spindle and attach the Z-axis tool setter to the surface of the workpiece or fixture that has already been clamped.
