3) A motion sequence will then be executed to detect the right, left, top, bottom and bottom right
skew reference edges of the plate. In each case, the control will move to the outward edge of the
plate until the sensor detects the edge of the plate ( off state ). The control will then reverse
motion at a slow speed until the sensor again becomes active. This position is recorded as the
respective reference point. Motion continues until all five points are detected.
4) Upon completion of detection the five reference points, the control will then position the Plate
Sensor (if no tool offset used) or the torch (if a tool offset is used) to the start point of the part
program. Scrap Clearance ( from the Align screen ) and Start Corner ( from the Align screen )
will also be executed in the final position move.
