Soft Home position

Published by Dottie Peene on

Here are some screen shots as well as instructions on setting the soft I recommend that after 15 to 20 runs send the marking head back to the hard home position as it will tend to drift as once that you do that you can continue the process of running again from the soft home position. If you need any further help in this matter please contact us here at CMT.

 

 

If you click anywhere on this grid the properties window will appear in the bottom right hand of the screen. This is where you set the SOFT HOME to Active, or in this case change it to yes. The window will also give you the option in which you will place the axis position for X and Y so it will return to the SOFT HOME until it reaches the value that was set in the properties tab on the controller start page. 
HOME BEFORE MARKING CYCLE COUNT. The system will go to the HARD HOME position every X part. For the Value of 1 it will go to the HARD HOME position every cycle. CMT recommends 15-20 cycles at most.
