Dimension 200
Z Axis
The Z axis of the router is the up and down movement of the tool.
Initializing the Z axis is an essential procedure when using the
Dimension 200. It establishes the location of the tool above the
workpiece at the start of a job.
CAUTION: The Z axis must be set every time the tool or
material is changed, and whenever the operator prepares to cut
or draw. Failure to initialize the Z axis properly will cause the
machine to cut at the wrong depth. This may destroy the
material and cause the tool to cut into the router table.
The Z axis may be positioned by:
the Z INIT function key located on the ARC station keypad
a Z axis adjustment knob located on top of the Z axis motor
the ART Path depth of cut
The workpiece and sacrificial material must be mounted on the
router table when the Z axis is initialized. See the Z INIT portion
of the ARC station section in this manual for instructions on
initializing the Z axis.
