1. Move an axis in one direction farther than the maximum possible backlash.
2. Mount a dial indicator and zero it.
3. Move the axis again in the same direction for a specific distance (it doesn’t matter how far).
4. Move the axis backwards the same distance.
5. Note how far the dial indicator was off from zero to see the axis’s backlash value.
6. Input that data in the specific machine type motion controller
To accurately setup the gear ranges on your machine, first set your variable pulley to the max range.
Take the max and min RPM for each gear range in input them in the gear range settings shown below. You can access
this screen by going to Configure>Control>Spindle
Most machines will need to be reversed in one gear range or the other to compensate for the mechanical change.
Check the Spindle RPM with a Tachometer. Adjust the MaxRPM value to compensate for any discrepancies in speed.
Your kit is pre-configured with a relay to control the Lube Pump, as seen above. You can change the frequency and
duration of which it runs in the MachMotion parameters.
Under the Service tab, click the "Interface Config" button.
