Precision Homing
The Precision Homing feature was created to help ensure that ClearPath
always finds the exact same Software Home (zero) position, even in cases
where the hard stop or home switch has slipped, bent, or otherwise drifted
in position. See the "Precision Homing" section later in this document for
more information.
Precision Homing section of Homing Dialog
Shaft Angle Homing
This homing method was designed with a rotary axis in mind– a rotary
tool changer for example. This method requires no additional sensor or
end of travel hard stop to use.
To use Shaft Angle Homing:
1.
Select "Shaft Angle Homing" from the homing dialog (see image
above).
2.
Manually move the motor shaft to the desired position.
3.
Click "Set Home Angle" button to store the shaft angle in the
motor's memory. This setting will be retained in motor memory,
even if main power to ClearPath is cycled.
Note:
on first power-up, the motor may move more than 1 revolution
before reaching the desired shaft angle.
