Chapter 4 Setting the Origins

4-3 Setting the Z-axis Origin

Setting the Z-axis Origin

Once you've installed a tool, then perform the operation to align the Z-axis origin with the center of the A axis. You make

the setting using the Z-origin sensor.

If the Machine Is Equipped with an ATC Unit

Before you perform this procedure, mount the tool to use in the magazine and register (save) its tool-length oset value.

Registering the oset value later makes the Z-axis origin misaligned.

 For more information about the tool-length offset, refer to the documentation for the ATC unit.

Procedure



Connect the sensor cable to the Z-

origin sensor.

The sensor cable is included with the modeling

machine.



Load the tool.

If the machine is equipped with an

ATC unit, then grasp a tool whose

tool-length offset value has been

registered.

WARNING: If you're using the

standard spindle, be sure to make

the amount of tool extension 85

mm (3.3 in.) or less. Otherwise the

tool may break, which may cause

injury.

 P. 57, "Limitations on Tool Length"



Close the spindle cover.
