1) After powering on the machine, check the machine home limits by highlighting
“MAL”, “MDI”
2) Type “G81 X- Y- U- V- Z-” and press “ENTER”.
Machine should travel to the lower left corner, then stop.
3) Go to the “DSPLY” screen and the “Machine” numbers XYUVZ should be zero.
4) Go to “MAL”, “MDI” and type UV and press “ENTER” to return UV back to zero.
Manual Z axis machines stop here (power Z continue)
5) If the machine has a power Z axis, Type G81Z and press ““ENTER””.
6) When the head stops moving go to the “SET” screen and look at the machine’s
paperwork to verify that “Table to Limit” and “Table to Lower” are correct. DO NOT jog
the Z- axis yet.
7) Go to the “SET”, “TRAVEL” screen and turn on “AUTO T UPPER”. Now it is OK to
jog the Z-axis. This parameter allows the machine to track the location of the upper head
as it is jogged, and automatically set the “Table To Upper” parameter.
