AFC (MHC) Quick Start Guide

The values for the Minimum and Maximum Position must be
entered for the lens fitted to the head. It is a good idea to label each
lens with the Minimum and Maximum Position for Focus axis.
5. Set the limits.
In order to prevent damage to cables and other equipment, you can
set limits to the range of physical travel of the head movement and
lens controls. This is especially important if you have a head without
slip rings, where cabling can get wrapped around the head, or if you
have a lens with external control motors.
Reasonable values for soft limits are factory-set for all the axes.
However, if you do need to set new limits, use the Robot Setting
page in MHC Client. For instructions, refer to the MHC Quick Start
Guide.
Subsequent sessions
After you have initially set up the system for your particular camera lens
and preferences, subsequent sessions take less time to set up, especially if
you have not disconnected control cables or moved sites. For subsequent
sessions at the same site you typically need to do the following at the start
of every session.
Important
During homing of the Focus axis, the lens ring is driven to each end
of the travel. Ensure that the lens motors are sufficiently tight on
their matte bars and remain in mesh with the lens gear.
Hint
If you are using the AFC head in an underslung configuration
it is recommended that you use the manual method for zeroing
the axes. Depending on the controller or software settings, the
automatic method might pan or tilt the camera into a home
orientation that is 180° from your working target orientation,
which can be potentially awkward or risky for the attached
equipment.
