teachpoint as follows:
Jogging the head down too far will damage the tip. Be careful not to jog the head
down too far.
When jogging down in the z-axis, a warning might appear stating that you are about
to exceed the set teachpoint, which could cause a crash. Before you click OK, verify
that enough space remains to continue jogging down.
a Jog the head down (z-axis) until the A1 tip is approximately 2 mm above the
platepad.
Reduce the increment value when the tip gets close to the deck.
b Jog the head in 0.05 mm increments in the x and y directions, until the tip is
positioned directly above the crosshair mark on the platepad.
