Vertical position and standoff affect parts
Vertical positioning affects part quality
When the machine is installed, it is set up so that the X, Y and Z homing positions are fixed and do not
require adjustment. However, this is not the case with the wrist motors. This is because changing
mechanical components—such as the mixing tube or orifice—can modify the vertical position of the
cutting head. This vertical positioning is critical because it affects the quality of the parts being cut.
View 1.
Shows an exaggerated view of what happens to a part if the cutting head is not vertical. Instead
of a rectangular cross section, parts cut with a tilted cutting head will have a cross section in the shape
of a parallelogram. The greater the cutting head tilt, the more the parallelogram will "lean" away from the
perpendicular.
To get the cutting head vertical, do a straightness adjustment.
