    How to move coordinate systems in Schaublin TMI-5

    Hi.

    Usually I use Emco machines, but now I've purchased a used Schaublin. In my Emco's i use the command "TRANS" to move coordinate systems. Is there some way to the same thing in my Schaublin to move for example the z-axis?

    Does a G92 work for that? In our thermwood routers at work, we set the tools with a 5" block and use a G92 Z5.0 to set the Z coordinate. I'm not sure if a G92 has to do the other axes at the same time, or if it can only do one at a time, though.

    Ok. Thanks. I'll try and see if it works for me. I'll post a reply of how it goes. Once again, thank you.

    Still not working the way I want.

    The G92 command only moves the machine cordinates. What I'm looking for is to move the coordinates in G54. This was not clear the first time I asked, sorry. I know how to move the coordinates of G53-G59 in the machine, but what I'm looking for is a way to move the coordinates in an ISO-program.

    Any ideas?
