Tramming Tips 

 

Move in small amounts to avoid overshooting. If the total movement is 80 micron, move the 
axis 10-15 micron. 

 

Work on one axis at a time. Very often there is a combination error, adjust the axis with the 
greatest error first. With practice, this method will speed up the entire process. 

 

Remember, the right side of zero on the indicator is plus and the left side is minus.  

 

If there are issues with tramming don’t hesitate to call OptiPro Systems.
