2. Automated Method
2.1 WARNING – Make sure the touch pad is functioning properly.
2.1.1 To verify proper functionality, position the router bit away
from the table and then touch the tool touch ‐ off pad to the
router bit. At the same time look for a change from red to
green on the TTO Switch indicator, as seen in the figures
below.
2.2 Fit the router bit into the router head (See Basic Operations,
Fitting the router bit).
2.3 Lower probe close to the top of the material and position the
touch pad under the router bit so that the bit will make
contact with the switch. Shown in figure 24.
2.4 In the control screen press the Touch Top button.
2.4.1 The spindle will automatically lower down until it
makes contact with the tool touch ‐ off pad. After
making contact the spindle will retract to the Z ‐
home position.
2.4.2 Commands being executed will be visible in the
message display window. A green box should be
visible in the Axis window to the right of the Z
coordinate. This green box indicates that the
local zero has been set for the Z axis.
SETTING TOOL LENGTH OFFSET (MEAS. Z BUTTON)
The Meas. Z button executes a M37 command. The M37 command sets a Tool Length Offset. The tool length
offset establishes a Z ‐ plane that the spindle will not cut past.
1. Verify that the Tool touch off pad is functioning properly (See
“Measuring Tool Length”, Step 2).
