MACHINE ACTIONS
Emergency stop.
Stops all motion of the machine immediately. Please note
that emergency stop should be activated using the
physical push-button
,
not using the touchscreen.
Go to XYZ zero
. The machine will rapidly move towards the X0 Y0 Z0 work
-
ing coordinates.
Define XY zero
. Forces the X0 & Y0 working coordinates at the current
location of the machine.
Define Z zero.
Forces the Z0 working coordinates at the current location of
the machine.
Tool measure length.
The machine will slowly travel down until it touches
the metal part of the probing device. It will then define the Z0 working coor
-
dinate to be perfectly aligned with the bottom surface of the device.
Home.
The machine will move along all its axes until it touches the limit
switches. This function allows to reference the absolute origin of the machine.
Square Gantry.
The machine will move along the Y-axis until it touches the
limit switches on both sides. This allows you to be sure that the Y-axis of the
machine is perfectly perpendicular to the X-axis.
Go to XY zero.
The machine will rapidly move towards the X0 Y0 working
coordinates.
Among these 8 actions, 4 of them are available on the
keypad
as well:
Before starting the
square gantry
,
bring the machine close to the front
since it
will move slowly.
Never stop that action while it’s running
, otherwise you will
have to reconfigure the Y-axis output (see our
).
For more
accurate
results, start the
tool measure length
action with the probe
device
close to your workpiece
.
