5.Operation
Generally, automated machinery using SANDEX units are complicated in design. This is based on the
large number of linkage involved. Such machinery generally uses the cams and linkages for obtaining

easily be accomplished by using the jog feature. After entering jog mode and locating zero

will be established. Once this method has been completed please do not enter the jog mode
unless you wish to reset the zero position.
