Setting the Work Envelope
The Work Envelope is a volume that defines
the movement limits of the router spindle. The
X0, Y0 corner of the work envelope is
determined by the machine’s Home Position.
The X+ and Y+ limits of the work envelope are
determined by the “Table Size: Settings
(MENU/MACHINE SETUP/TABLE SIZE) and
provide the “soft limits for the machine. The
Table Size settings prevent the possibility of
the spindle assembly/gantry from being jogged
into the machine’s frame.
Ensure that the controller display is indicating
the “Machine Coordinates.” Those numbers
correspond to the machine’s Home position that
is determined by physical limit switches.
Machine Coordinates are indicated on the screen by the designation “AX, AY, or
AZ”. If the Machine Coordinates are not being displayed, depressing the
HIGH/LOW and MENU buttons together will toggle between the machine
coordinates and ORIGIN coordinates ( e.g, 1-9).
