7.2 Calibration of the rotation unit
For all the drilling functions to work, the system will need to know the position of the cradle.
This means that the cradle position must always be calibrated before drilling.
This must be done routinely whenever the drilling system is started. An information lamp in
the status bar will illuminate if this has not been done.
n Calibrate the cradle by running it so it is positioned above the upper calibration sensor
on the feeder.
n Then lower the cradle to the drill-steel support, it will move at reduced speed in this
case until its side plate reaches the calibration sensor. The information box in the
status bar will then close and full drill lever function will be activated.
