3.4 MACHINE REFERENCE (HOME) SEARCH
This home search is done one axis at a time by following one of these methods:
a) Press [F1] [0]. The CNC references (homes) the X axis.
b) Press [F1] [1]. The CNC homes the Y axis.
c) * Select, at the lower display and by means of the [A+] key, the axis to be homed (X
or Y).
* Press [CL] to clear the display
* Press [RECALL]
The axis will move the axis in the direction set by axis machine parameters "P62(4),
P62(5)".
This homing movement will be carried out at the feedrate established by machine
parameters "P25, P65", until the home switch is pressed, if any, machine parameters
"P22(8), P62(8)".
Once the home switch is pressed, the search will continue at 100mm/min. (3.9 inches/min.)
until the reference mark (marker pulse Io) of the feedback device is detected, thus
concluding the home search for that axis..
The CNC will cancel the currently active zero offset (part zero) and it will display the home
coordinates allocated to machine parameters "P2, P42".
*
If during the home search, the
key is pressed, the CNC interrupts the
movement of the axis and it displays the following information:
The upper display shows function G74 indicating
that a home search is in progress.
The lower display shows the axis position at the
time.
To resume the home search, press
To quit the home search, press [CL] twice.
