2.2 Intended Scope of Use
The STEPCRAFT milling motors has been developed for private users. It is unintended for large-scale production and in-
tegration into assembly lines. It is generally designed for the usage with a CNC router but the milling motor is specically
designed for installation and connection to the STEPCRAFT machines from the D- / M- / and Q-Series. This product can
be used with third party CNC systems, although STEPCRAFT does not offer support for this use case.

4 Setup of the 3D Touch Probe
4.1 Environmental Conditions
General safety warnings regarding the workspace are to be found in chapter„1.2 General Safety Warnings“. The product
is solely suitable for the operation in dry, interior spaces. Protect the product against wetness and humidity. The humidity
should be within normal limits for humidity indoors (40 to 60% rH). The ideal environmental temperature for the system
is between 15°C to 25°C, respectively between 59°F and 77°F. Particularly protect the electronics against overheating
by avoiding the exposure of the milling motor to direct sun radiation or indirect heating up nearby a radiator. Keep the
environment of the machine dust-free.
4.2 Assembly and Connection of the 3D Touch Probe
The 3D touch probe can be connected to the machine control using multiple methods. The scope of delivery includes a
jack plug, which can be connected to a milling machine's jack socket. A machine from the STEPCRAFT D-Series (2nd
generation) allows you to hardwire the cable of the 3D touch probe to the machine control.
