3.3 BASIC MACHINE PROCEDURES

3.31 Setting Axes Home Positions

PROCEDURE TO BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY

The 828 control comes standard with absolute encoders which generally do not require homing. However, if you have

an issue with the battery or the machine is not turned on for an extended length of time the machine may need to be re-

homed according to the following procedure. In addition, if an axis motor is removed or there is an issue with a motor

coupling or pulley / belt assembly, one or more axes may need to be re-homed.
