4.1 Multiple Z axes Control
NK280 can serves as a dual Z axes CNC system for dual Z axes machine. Compared with standard
four axes system, dual Z axes system shares a lot in common in terms of interfaces and operations. The
main difference between two systems lies in that for standard four axes system, four axes are X/Y/Z/A (A
as the rotary axis), while for dual Z axes system, four axes are X/Y/Z1/Z2. To avoid too much repetition,
you can turn to introductions to general four axes system in chapter 3 for most operations of dual Z axes
system. The following part will focus on the special functions and points of the dual Z axes system,
please note that.
4.1.1 Mode Selection
At present, for the system with dual Z axes, there are two modes for selection, namely, linkage
mode (―Union‖ mode on the screen, in which multiple Z axes can move synchronously or simultaneously)
and alternative mode (―Turn‖ mode on the screen, in which only one Z axis can move at one moment).
Under [Advanced] function area, press shortcut key ―=‖ to enter the sub-screen [Multi- Z Control(=)], as
shown in Fig. 4-1 . Users can press shortcut key S/T to switchover between the linkage mode and
alternative mode.

Linkage (Union) Mode
In this mode, press F1 [Z1 active], F2 [Z2 active] or F3 [Z1Z2 active] to activate the target Z axis
(axes). Before the activation, machine will lift the Z1/Z2 axis to the position ―AREAMAX-1‖ (the position
―Workbench range upper limit-1‖).
When switch to [Z1Z2 active], two Z axes will obtain the same workpiece coordinates as result.
Alternative (Turn) Mode
In this mode, function [Z1Z2 active] is unavailable.
When pressing F1 or F2 to activate [Z1 active] or [Z2 active], the current Z axis will lift to the
―AREAMAX-1‖ position first before the other Z axis is activated. For instance, the current Z axis is Z1
axis, and now, it needs to switch to the Z2 axis. At this time, Z1 axis will raise to the position
