4.4 Complete
Congratulations! You have completed the Assembly of the C-Beam-Machine, and we
hope you have enjoyed the build. Below are some general pointers meant to guide you in
the correct direction when using the machine with UGS.
A.
With this electronic kit we have decided not to include end-stops. This means that
when creating your G-Code files in your CAM package it is recommended that you set
the working area to the same size as your intended work piece, and set the zero posi-
tion to the upper front left corner of the work piece. Export the G-Code file with a
GRBL post processor. If a GRBL post processor isn’t available, select a standard G-
Code file with no post processor and no arcs.
B.
In UGS position the machine to the same upper front left corner set in the CAM pack-
age.
C.
In the ‘Machine Control’ tab press ‘Reset Zero’. This is a crucial step, and must not be
forgotten when not using end-stops.
D.
Load your G-Code file in the ‘File-Mode’ tab. Press ‘Send’ to begin the file.
E. It is highly recommended that you use a pen in place of a spindle when first using the
machine, and have a piece of paper as the work piece. This allows you to get used to
the machine in a safe manor. To prevent crushing the pen, work on only one plane in
your CAM package and have no negative Z Movements.
