3.5 Origin Setup for Each Axis
After the power is turned on, detection of the Z1-axis zero-position and the recognition of
the origin in the X-axis machine coordinate are required. This section describes the
detection of the Z1-axis zero-position and origin setup of the X-axis.
3.5.1 Z1-axis zero-position detection
The detection of the Z1-axis zero-position is performed when the analysis software is
started.
Before the Z1-axis zero-position is detected, the warning beep for the stylus indentation
is disabled. Therefore, operate the machine with great care when operating it before
detecting the Z1-axis zero-position.
1. Start the analysis software.
Double-click the Formtracepak icon on the desktop of the PC monitor screen.
2. The dialog box [Notice of Z1-axis Zero Detection] appears if the detection of the
Z1-axis zero-position is needed.
Confirm that there is no obstacle such as a workpiece within the traveling range of the
stylus, and click the [OK] button. The detection of the Z1-axis zero position is started.
If there is an obstacle, move the stylus.
• If the check box [From the next startup this message will not appear.] is checked,
the message will not appear from the next time. The detection of the Z1-axis zero
position is started.
• For safety, it is recommended to keep the state of showing this message.
