4-3 Setting the Z-axis Origin
Setting the Z-axis Origin
Once you've installed a tool, then perform the operation to align the Z-axis origin with the center of the A axis. You make
the setting using the Z-origin sensor.
If the Machine Is Equipped with an ATC Unit
Before you perform this procedure, mount the tool to use in the magazine and register (save) its tool-length offset value.
Registering the offset value later makes the Z-axis origin misaligned.

For more information about the tool-length offset, refer to the documentation for the ATC unit.
Procedure

Connect the sensor cable to the Z-
origin sensor.
The sensor cable is included with the modeling
machine.

Load the tool.
If the machine is equipped with an
ATC unit, then grasp a tool whose
tool-length offset value has been
registered.
WARNING: If you're using the
standard spindle, be sure to make
the amount of tool extension 85
mm (3.3 in.) or less. Otherwise the
tool may break, which may cause
injury.
