F6 – User Maint
Use this menu to perform user maintenance such as checking an axis for excessive drag or setting
backlash
F1 – Drag The Drag Factor utility is used to determine if an axis has an excessive amount of drag. To
run a drag test, use the F1 key to select the axis which you wish to test, position the axis at or near
the home position and press CYCLE START. The axis will move back to the home switch then
traverse the entire range of travel for the axis moving to the opposite limit and returning to home
while moving the slow jog rate. If excessive friction (drag) is encountered an error message will
be displayed. When the test completes, use F8-Graph to display the results. The red horizontal
lines indicate the bounds acceptable limits for the machine as it is currently configured.
F2 - Lash (Backlash Compensation) In order to insure an accurate measurement always set the backlash
compensation in the control to zero before attempting to measure the physical lash in an axis.
F7 – Create Report Generates a backup of system configuration files called report.zip and copies it to the
specified location. Your dealer may then use this file for servicing and troubleshooting purposes.
To restore the configuration files from the report disk, press F2 – Restore Report from the
Utility menu.
