starting position with the help of the ControlPad.

Step 2. Starting offsets are to be entered as follows:

X axis - Positive value if the initial offset is to move to the

right before getting to the actual starting point.

X axis - Negative value if the initial offset is to move to the

left before getting to the actual starting point.

Y axis - Negative value if the initial offset is to move away

from the operator before getting to the actual starting point.

Y axis - Positive value if the initial offset is to move toward

the operator before getting to the actual starting point.

Z axis - The value cannot be declared if the limit switch is

set in the section II. The Z axis will move up and actuate the

limit switch to get to the Z axis Home position. The

application will be responsible for inserting the Z axis

maximum stroke value in the Starting offset area for the Z

axis. (You should still be declaring the lift value in the

Materials Menu for the short lifts between shapes while

machining.)

C. Machine with limit switches in the X and Y axis

Examples are Dahlgren Wizzard series, Dahlgren System II,

etc.

The X and Y axis limit switch settings are required in the

section II of the Machine Setup. The ‘Home’ position is where

the limit switches will take the machine upon clicking ‘Home’

key in the ControlPad. The operator should to go to the

Section III of the Machine Setup and select the appropriate

starting position. (Quite often this is the upper left or lower

left of the allowable machining area.) Additionally, the

operator should be able to enter values for the starting offsets

from the start position if he is interested in starting from a

point other than the position that the limit switch brings the

machine to.

Starting offsets are to be entered as follows:

X axis - Positive value if the initial offset is to move to the

right before getting to the actual starting point.

X axis - Negative value if the initial offset is to move to the
