Home Axes
From the Home screen, each axis or all axes can be "homed". In addition, the transverse
and rail axes can be sent to one of four programmed alternate home positions.
The home feature sets a known, absolute physical position location on the cutting table
that is used for referencing future manual “Go to Home” and other motion commands.
This is generally performed through activation of a home switch positioned on the
appropriate axis giving it a known physical location.
When the homing command is entered at the control, the control moves the axis toward
the home switches at the fast home speed until the switches have been activated. After
the switches have been activated, motion stops and the axis moves in the opposite
direction off switch at the slow home speed. The moment that the switch is deactivated,
the position is recorded at the control and provides an absolute reference point for future
motion commands.
Transverse
Press the Transverse soft key to initiate the automated homing procedure. This procedure
generally produces machine motion in the transverse axis, depending on the homing
parameters set in the Setups.
