Homing a Stage

From the Motion drop-down menu, select

HOME

. The Home Stages screen

appears (see Figure 3.3-1)

Figure 3.3-1 — Home Stages Menu

Select an axis and search mode (Home Switch Only or Home Switch &
Index), enter the number of units in the Home Speed input box, and Select

START

to home the stage(s).

Home each axis one by one. Verify that each stage carriage moves to its
home (typically center) position.

NOTE

Enable stage(s) motor power before homing.
