The edge finder is used to determine the X and Y zero offsets between the workpiece coordinate system and the machine tool coordinate system. It can also measure simple dimensions on some workpieces. Benefits Improves machining accuracy by establishing a precise origin for tool paths. Reduces setup time through fast, repeatable zerooffset finding. Enables quick checks of basic dimensions during setup or inspection. Key attributes Function: determines X and Y zero offsets; can measure simple dimensions on certain workpieces. Compatibility: suitable for standard machine tools that use a workpiece coordinate system and a machine tool coordinate system. Performance: provides fast and repeatable results to support efficient setup and initial checks. Use scenarios Before milling on a CNC milling machine, use the edge finder to locate the X and Y zero offsets to establish the correct starting origin. During multioperation setups, quickly verify the zero position to ensure consistent tool paths between operations. For quick verification, measure basic dimensions on a workpiece to confirm basic tolerances before proceeding to detailed inspection.
