2.Choose the Clear Machine Zero button. This will clear the machine coordinates and remove the light blue Machine Tool Envelope.

3.Choose the Jog button in the Control Box. This will put LC into jog mode.

4.Jog the tool to 1/10” from the top of the Z axis.

5.Jog the table in the X- direction to about 1/10” from the end of travel.

6.Jog the table in the Y- direction to about 1/10” from the end of travel.

7.Choose Set next to the Machine label. Choose Zero All in the dialog box.

Using the Point Move

There is an even easier way to move the tool to an exact position, using the point mode of the Control Box.

1.Choose the Point button in the Control Box.

2.From the Name pull-down menu select Any Point.

3.From the Coord pull-down menu select Machine.

4.Fill in the X Y and Z point coordinates to read 1, 2, -1.

5.Enter “4” in the Feedrate box. The machine is now set up to move to the machine coordinate 1, 2, -1 at a feedrate of 4 in/min.

6.Now choose the Start button. Notice how the machine first performed 2-Axis linear interpolation for the X and Y axis and then moved the Z axis down. This sequence of movement, unique to the point mode, helps to avoid tool crashes.

7.From the Name pull-down menu select Machine Zero.

8.Select Rapid from the Rate pull-down menu. The tool is set to move to Machine Coordinate 0, 0, 0 at the rapid feedrate.
