5.2 Operations with the axes.
5.2.1 Home search.
Home search is the operation used to synchronize the system. This operation must be
carried out when the CNC loses the position of the origin point (e.g. by turning the machine
off).
When "searching home", the axes move to the machine reference point and the CNC
assumes the coordinate values assigned to that point by the machine manufacturer, referred
to machine zero. When using distance-coded reference marks or absolute feedback, the
axes will only move the distance necessary to verify their position.
The axes may be homed manually (axis by axis from the operator panel) or automatically
(using a subroutine).
Manual home search (one axis at a time).
Home search via keyboard.
1 Select the axis to be homed using the alphanumeric keyboard. The CNC will highlight
that axis to indicate that it is selected.
To select the numbered axes (e.g. "X1"), select any axis and then move the selection until
positioning on the desired one. The focus moves with the [][] keys.
3 Press [START] to go ahead with the home search or [ESC] to cancel the operation.
Home search via softkey menu.
This operation is carried out one axis at a time. Home search of an axis is carried out as
follows:
1 On the home search softkey of the horizontal menu, select the axis to be homed. The
CNC will frame that axis and will display the "1" symbol in the numeric area indicating
that a home search will take place.
2 Press [START] to go ahead with the home search or [ESC] to cancel the operation.
Automatic home search (with subroutine).
This homing method is only available if the machine manufacturer has previously defined
a homing subroutine.
Home search via keyboard.
2 Press [START] to go ahead with the home search or [ESC] to cancel the operation.
Home search via softkey menu.
1 On the home search softkey of the horizontal menu, select the "All" option. The CNC will
display a dialog box requesting confirmation to execute the home search.
2 Press [START] to go ahead with the home search or [ESC] to cancel the operation.
The axis-by-axis home search cancels the zero offset, the fixture offset and the measuring offset. The
CNC assumes the machine reference zero point (home) as the new part zero.
2 Press the homing key [ZERO]. The CNC will display the "1" symbol in the numeric area
indicating that a home search will take place.
1 Press the homing key [ZERO]. The CNC will display a dialog box requesting confirmation
to execute the home search.
