Part 5 Troubleshooting
The marked location isn't where desired.
The center of the base scale may not coincide with Metaza's marking origin point.
To correct displacement between the scale center and the marking origin point, follow the steps below.
1Load an unneeded workpiece that will not be used for
marking on the base. Prepare a workpiece that is about
10 to 20 mm (1/2 to 1 in.) square.
For information on how to load the workpiece, refer to
Part 2, "Loading the Workpiece."
2Start Dr. METAZA, and in the [Sample] folder, open
[Axis.dmz].
3Perform marking.
4Grasp the base on both sides and pull back toward you
to remove.
When doing this, be careful to ensure that the loaded
position of the workpiece does not change.
5Measure and make a note of the displacement between
the base-scale centerlines and the crossed lines on the
workpiece.
The figure at right shows a positive displacement of
0.5 mm (0.02 in.) for [Width] and a negative displace-
ment of 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) for [Length].
