Appendix E, Height Sensor Setup and Use
The optional height sensor can detect any variation from the original Z height program values from workpiece to
workpiece. If the Z height changes, the system detects the new Z height value and adjusts the program accordingly.
PREREQUISITES
The height sensor is installed and the cable is connected to the I/O port. Refer to the instructions provided with
the height sensor.
The system is properly set up. Refer to “Setting Up and Calibrating the System (Required)” on page 37.
A test workpiece is positioned on the xture plate or work surface.
