Use the keypad to move to the location where the Z level is located. If ze-
roing to a specific fixture, move the tool over it. Close the keypad when the
tool is at the desired position.
Place the grounding clip on the collet or bit and the Z zero plate
below the bit. Click “OK”, and the routine will touch off the zero
plate and save the offset from the fixed Z zero plate. When the
plate is removed, the tool will confirm the proximity switch loca-
tions and new Z zero level.
Every time the C3 routine is run the tool will be zeroed at this stored level. This routine only needs to run when
the offset between the fixed plate and the zeroing level changes.
Zero to Various Z Heights (C2)
ATC users will only have to zero one bit to their material or bed height each time the Z zero position is
changed. The remaining bits in the tool rack will also reference the new position.
Once all of the bits have been zeroed to the fixed Z zero plate, any bit can be used to zero to the surface using
the regular Z zero plate.
