For dog mode return to reference position, turn on the FEED AXIS SELECT switch (+ or –) in the direction
where the dog and limit switch approach each other.
For high-speed reference point return, turn on the FEED AXIS SELECT switch (+ or –) in the direction that
the spindle head approaches the reference point.
Hold the FEED AXIS SELECT switch on during return to reference position until the machine passes by the
dog (dog mode) or the REFERENCE POSITION ARRIVAL lamp goes on (high speed return).
Check the current machine position.
Using the MODE SELECT switch,
select the return to reference position.
Using the RAPID TRAVERSE
OVERRIDE switch, set any desired
override value.
Using the FEED AXIS SELECT switch,
move the machine.
If the limit switch exists in the minus
direction as illustrated above, turn on a
plus FEED AXIS SELECT switch.
