GS Table, computer and Accumove2
(configuration file loaded)
From Step B5
The Accumove2 calculates all position offsets and speeds by referring to a 3-axis zero point. This point is
referred to as the table’s “datum.” Without its datum, your table cannot operate, so it must be set whenever
the Accumove2 is powered on. Setting the table’s datum tells the Accumove2 to use the current X, Y, and Z
coordinates as the zero point for each of the axes (0, 0, 0). On power up, set the datum to the current position
(to enable movement), then move to the desired zero position using the jog buttons, then reset the datum.
Instructions
Illustrations
• The jog buttons on the run screen appear dark yellow until the drives are enabled by setting
the datum. Click the
Datum
button to enable the jog buttons.
• If the table's gantry is not already at the table's zero X-position limit, it will need to be
jogged there. At this point in the setup and adjustment of the table, the tool's Y-position on
the gantry is not critical, but jogging to the table's zero Y-position limit is good practice.
• Accumove2 is designed to operate in the +X / +Y quadrant. For safety, it limits motion
in the other three quadrants to a very slow speed. Be patient and bring the table to the
desired zero X- and zero Y-position.
• Click the
Datum
button again. Whenever the button is clicked, the current position becomes
the datum with the coordinates of (0, 0, 0) in 3 dimensions.
• Setting the datum will be done again once the Z-axis is installed, and every time the
Accumove2 is powered on.
• Remember to return the tool to the datum position before turning off the Accumove2
to make setting the datum easier at the next start up.
