Setting the Z-axis Zero Position for Router usage.
The Z-axis zero position can be set in two ways:
Manually-
Use the Z-axis directional arrows to move the tip of the router bit to the location of your Z=0
position as indicated by your G-code program. This could be either the top of the material, or
bottom of the material. Switch to Step Mode to slowly move the machine into position.
Oncethebitisinposition,usethe“Man.Z=0”buttontosetthislocationastheZoriginforthe
Router. The Z-axis coordinate will change to 0.000 and a green box will appear indicating the Z
zero is now set.
Using Touchpad-
PlacetheoatingtouchpadontopofthesurfacethatwillbeyourZ=0positionasindicatedby
your G-code program. This could be either the top of the material, or bottom of the material (top
ofthesacricialspoilboard).
Using the directional arrows, center the router bit above the touchpad. Make sure there is some
space between the bit and the pad.
Oncetherouterisabovethetouchpad,usethe“AutoZ=0”buttontousethetouchpadtosetthe
Z origin of the router. The head will automatically descend, touch the pad and then retract.The
Z-axis coordinate will change to 0.000 and a green box will appear indicating the Z zero is now
set.
Clearing the Zero Position
Sometimes the position the user has set could be incorrect and needs to be redone. The operator
couldusethe“Clear”buttontostartoverorcouldsimplychoosethe“SetXY’or“SetZ”buttons
again to overwrite the current values.
Go to Zero Position
The user may want to physically see where the current XY zero position is set; whether to check
its alignment to the material to be cut or to double check the positon. The operator may do so by
selecting
“GotoXY0’TheZaxiswillhomeupforsafetyclearanceandthespindlewillmovetoXY0.
NOTE: Make sure your material is safely and properly secured. If you are using a vacuum
pump, make sure the vacuum is on BEFORE setting your Z=0 position.
