4-2 Setting the Y-axis Origin
Step 1: Detect the A-axis Center
To set the Y-axis origin at the center of the A axis, you first perform detection of the A-axis center. You don't need to perform
this operation each time you set the Y-axis origin, but you must be sure to perform it once after installing the unit.
This operation includes various types of adjustments for compensation and correction. Changes in temperature and the like
can cause mechanical misalignment, and we recommend performing periodic detection to maintain accuracy.

Preparation of the Origin Sensor
Standard spindle (ZS-540TY)
ATC unit installed
25 to 35 mm
(1 to 1.3 in.)
Use manual feed to move the table
toward the front.
Mount the origin-detection pin on the
spindle.
If the machine is equipped with an
ATC unit, then load the tool holder
mounted with the detection pin in
stocker No. 1.
The diameter of the origin-detection pin is 6
millimeters.
Connect the sensor cable to the Z-
