7.4 Creating a new registration hole system
The registration holes in the red registration hole strips grow with use
over time will no longer be as precise as they originally were.
New holes must be drilled in the strips if this is the case.
The registration hole strips must be replaced if there are too many holes
them after some time.
fig. 15: Front strip of the registration
hole system
A new registration hole system is created as follows:
› First press the two registration hole strips into the machine groove,
with the front registration hole strip pushed against the reference pin
at the front of the groove.
The distance between the two registration hole strips should be
approximately the size of the base material in the X axis.
› Select the tool in BoardMaster : "Spiral Drill Ref 2.95 mm"
› Fit the 2.95 mm diameter drill so that the distance between the base
plate and the tip of the drill is approximately 0.5 mm.
This is the only time a tool is not inserted into the collet as far as it
will go.
› Adjust the working depth limiter to the very top using the knurled
screw so that the drill stroke is lengthened.
› Use GO TO, HOME from the BoardMaster menu to move the plotter
head to the Home position and then use the arrow buttons to move
the head to approximately the centre of the front registration hole
strip.
