IMPORTANT:
Don’t Change the home position unless you are sure the position was
lost, damage to the machine and tooling can occur if the home position is set incorrectly.
1. The machine has been homed from the factory and does not need to be re-homed unless
the encoder or drive motor needs servicing.
In the Home or “0” position, the flat of the
spindle drive keys are parallel to the machine frame. Verify that the spindle is at the home
position using the manual function before moving to the next step.
a. Use a straight edge as needed to verify that the drive keys are exactly parallel to the
edge of the bending frame in the Home position. Slow the Motor Speed to the slowest
position if having difficulties tapping the foot pedals to get the exact setting. (The hook
arm of the die will also be parallel when a die is installed.)
2. To set the home position,
press the “Help” button on the OEM screens Fig 1 to display at
“Set Home” button.
3. Press the Set Home button to enter the Machine Homing screen Fig 12.
4. Once in the Machine Homing screen, follow the directions on the screen to set the home
position.
The Home position is saved forever even if the power is shut down. You may lose the home
position if power is lost to the machine during a move or if wiring or electronics are
disconnected inside the electrical cabinet.
5. Press the Exit button to keep the existing Home position. Press and hold the save button at
the bottom of the screen to save the new Home position.
