MACHINE P OWER-UP
Turn the machine on by pressing the Power-On button on the pendant.
The machine will go through a self test and then display either the Messages screen, if a message was left, or the
Alarms screen. In either case the mill will have one alarm present (102 SERVOS OFF). Pressing the Reset button
a couple times will clear the alarms. If an alarm cannot be cleared the machine may need servicing, if this is the
case call your dealer.
Once the alarms are cleared the machine needs a reference point to start all operations from; this point is called
“Home”. To home the machine, press the Power-Up Restart button. Caution: Automatic motion will begin once this
button is pressed Keep away from the inside of the machine and the tool changer. Note that pressing the Power-
Up button will automatically clear alarm 102 if it was present.
After home is found the Current Commands page is displayed, and the machine is now ready to run.
