Operating Principles
Overview
Note: It is essential that you read this section before operating the
Dimension 200. This section introduces the operating principles of the
router system.
The complete Dimension 200 router system consists of these major
components:
the Dimension 200 router table
the electrical box
the ARC station
Text and graphics are cut or drawn by the router after being
prepared for routing by ART Path. During router operation, the
cutting table and clamped workpiece remain stationary. All
operating motion is performed by the router motor, carriage, and
tool.
X, Y, Z Axes
The Dimension 200 has three basic axes of movement:
The X (horizontal) axis is oriented from left to right.
The Y (vertical) axis is oriented from front to back.
The Z (depth) axis is oriented up and down.
When the router cuts a design, the tool moves in the X, Y and Z
axes of movement.
