2.2 Operations with the axes.
2.2.1 Home search.
Home search is the operation used to synchronize the system. This operation must be
carried out when the CNC loses the position of the origin point (e.g. by turning the machine
off).
When "searching home", the axes move to the machine reference point and the CNC
assumes the coordinate values assigned to that point by the machine manufacturer, referred
to machine zero. When using distance-coded reference marks or absolute feedback, the
axes will only move the distance necessary to verify their position.
The axes may be homed manually (axis by axis from the operator panel) or automatically
(using a subroutine).
Manual home search (one axis at a time).
Automatic home search (with subroutine).
This homing method is only available if the machine manufacturer has previously defined
a homing subroutine.
The axis-by-axis home search cancels the zero offset, the fixture offset and the measuring offset. The
CNC assumes the machine reference zero point (home) as the new part zero.
i
1 Select the axis to be homed using the alphanumeric keyboard. The
CNC will highlight that axis to indicate that it is selected.
To select the numbered axes (e.g. "X1"), select any axis and then move
the selection until positioning on the desired one. The focus moves with
the [

2 Press the homing key [ZERO]. The CNC will display the "1" symbol in
the numeric area indicating that a home search will take place.
3 Press [START] to go ahead with the home search or [ESC] to cancel
the operation.
1 Press the homing key [ZERO]. The CNC will display a dialog box
requesting confirmation to execute the home search.
