WARNING: This procedure
makes the machine operate. Before
you perform this procedure, check
to make sure that operation of the
machine will not create any hazard
or danger.
Click [OK].
Clicking [OK] makes the tool slowly descend until it contacts the sensor.
When the tool rises and stops, the setting operation is complete.
To Make the Tool Descend Rapidly
When it takes a long time for the tool to make contact with the sensor, turn the hand wheel on the handy panel counterclock-
wise. Be careful not to make the tool collide with the sensor. A collision makes accurate detection impossible. If a collision
occurs, redo the operation from the beginning.
Operation Using the Handy Panel
You can also perform this operation using the handy panel.
