MACHINE ACTIONS

Emergency stop. 

Stops all motion of the machine immediately. Please note 

that emergency stop should be activated using the 

physical push-button

not using the touchscreen. 

Go to XYZ zero

. The machine will rapidly move towards the X0 Y0 Z0 work

-

ing coordinates.

Define XY zero

. Forces the X0 & Y0 working coordinates at the current 

location of the machine.

Define Z zero.

 Forces the Z0 working coordinates at the current location of 

the machine.

Tool measure length.

 The machine will slowly travel down until it touches 

the metal part of the probing device. It will then define the Z0 working coor

-

dinate to be perfectly aligned with the bottom surface of the device.

Home.

 The machine will move along all its axes until it touches the limit 

switches. This function allows to reference the absolute origin of the machine.

Square Gantry.

 The machine will move along the Y-axis until it touches the 

limit switches on both sides. This allows you to be sure that the Y-axis of the 
machine is perfectly perpendicular to the X-axis.

Go to XY zero.

 The machine will rapidly move towards the X0 Y0 working 

coordinates.

Among these 8 actions, 4 of them are available on the 

keypad

 as well:

Before starting the 

square gantry

bring the machine close to the front

 since it 

will move slowly. 

Never stop that action while it’s running

, otherwise you will 

have to reconfigure the Y-axis output (see our 

troubleshooting guide

).

For more 

accurate

 results, start the 

tool measure length

 action with the probe 

device 

close to your workpiece

.
