Using the calipers, tape measure or ruler measure the distance from left edge
and top edge of anodized plate to outline of box. The measurements should be
1” or very close to it. If off, note how much it’s off by in both x and y.
You can adjust one or both parameters at a time but it is easier if you calibrate
one at a time.
The parameters to adjust on the config menu of display are x-home and y-home.
Save settings after any changes.
For the new settings to take place, you do not need to resend the job over.
Instead, restore the x-y home feature on display and the new settings will take
place.
Rinse and repeat for both x and y axis
until you’re within .005” of 1”.
Important step:
Once you’ve dialed in the x and y-axis home position. Run one
last vector score job on a new piece of anodized aluminum. Save this sample as
it’ll be used later in this procedure.
Setting x-y home for vector grid:
Tools needed:
vector scored anodized aluminum plate from previous step, setting x-y
home. 3/32 Allen wrench.
Install vector grid into Fusion. Lower table midway.
Loosen the Allen screws securing the ruler bars on vector grid, left and top.
Screws should be loose enough to be able to slide the ruler bars.
Under configuration of display, change vector grid installed to yes. Save settings.
Place the vector scored anodized aluminum plate in the top left corner of vector
grid. Raise table to manual focus point.
Turn on red dot pointer. Using the display, jog the x and y-
axis to 1”, 1” and set a
temporary home.
