Page: 15 / 22

There are several options when configuring the MachMotion software. There is a Knee Mill Setup Wizard for all knee

mill controls that are shipped out. For other machine types, review that particular machine type installation manual.

It is suggested to go through this part with the machine disabled and to use the handwheels to move the machine. It is

possible to to move the machine with the jog functionality or pendant if the speed is turned down and caution is used.

The softlimits wizard will go through the three axes in order (X, Y, Z) and ask you to move the machine first to

maximum travel and then to minimum travel. The positions should be within machine physical limits and within any

limit switches on the machine, but should encompass most of the usable machine.
