Probe Deceleration Multiplier
Probe Jog Parameters
control jog speed when probe is connected. Probe must decelerate to stop when
contacting a surface without exceeding overtravel limits. See probe sepcifications. Probe will be
damaged if over travel limit is exceeded by any amount.

Note:
In this example axis 3 is the Z axis which only has 0.150 inches of overtravel limit in the (-)
direction. Axis 4 is a rotary axis overtravel will depend on distance from center of rotation.
REQUIRED CONNECTION CABLE CNC12 SYSTEMS
Probe Cable PN: 11085 is used on most CNC12 systems. See the schematic diagram of this cable in
appendix B. Refer to the installation manual of the control if this cable is not appropriate.
