MC_3056:
X Offset
Both the Offset and Zero Cross
parameters enable you to specify a
starting point for ballscrew
compensation. Both values are
measured from Machine Home. These
values include distance and direction
(positive or negative) from Machine
Home. The CNC adds the two values
to determine the starting point. For
example, if the assigned offset is
-0.01mm and the Zero cross is
-6.00mm, then the CNC begins the
compensated (lasered) area -6.01mm
from Machine Home along the axis.
Typically, Machine Home (0.0000) is
the Zero Cross parameter and the
Offset is just off the limit switch.
However, any point along the range of
travel can be selected for the Zero
Cross or Offset.
Enter the appropriate Ballscrew Offset
for the X-axis. If the Offset location is
Machine Home, enter
0.0000
. The
ballscrew offset is measured from
Machine Home.
Range (-999.00000–2032.00000)
0.00000 [Default]
MC_3057:
Y Offset
Enter the appropriate Ballscrew Offset
for the Y-axis. If the Offset location is
Machine Home, enter
0.0000
. The
ballscrew offset is measured from
Machine Home.
(See MC_3056: X Offset for details.)
Range (-999.00000–2032.00000)
0.00000 [Default]
MC_3058:
Z Offset
Enter the appropriate Ballscrew Offset
for the Z-axis. If the Offset location is
Machine Home, enter
0.0000
. The
ballscrew offset is measured from
Machine Home.
(See MC_3056: X Offset for details.)
Range (-999.00000–2032.00000)
0.00000 [Default]
MC_3059:
U Offset
Enter the appropriate Ballscrew Offset
for the U-axis. If the Offset location is
Machine Home, enter
0.0000
. The
ballscrew offset is measured from
Machine Home.
(See MC_3056: X Offset for details.)
Range (-999.00000–2032.00000)
