Step 17 — Zero the X and Y axes
Click the "Zero XY axes" button
shown here (you can also type a
C3 command from your keyboard).
The tool will touch off each
proximity switch twice before
coming to rest at XY(0,0).
You should perform this step each
time your turn your Handibot on to
ensure accurate cuts.
If you wish to check that you have
full travel in the X and Y axes
before you try cutting a file, use the
Cut Rectangle (CR) command in
the ShopBot Menu. Enter a value of
6 for the X axis and 8 for the Y
axis, and Start the file. If you do
not hear the motors stalling in
either axes, move on to the next
step.
If you do hear the motors stalling,
you may have to do a one-time set
up to change the offset from the
proximity switches. See step 10.
