3.7.1 Verify Limit Switch Function

procedure. There are three limit switches,

is triggered, the mill is placed in a reset
state. Verify funcon of the limit switches
as follows:
1. On the PathPilot interface, click the Status tab (see Figure 3.18).
2. Manually depress X, Y, and Z limit switches by hand (see Figure 3.17).
3. Verify that the corresponding LED light illuminates on the Status screen (see Figure 3.18).
4. Aer verifying limit switch funcon, click the ashing Reset buon.
