Page 19: Setting Software Limits
CNC Setup Utility Manual P/N 70000499F - Builder Setup Setting Software Limits NOTE: The machine must have the Machine Home function enabled and turned on in order to use software limits properly. The operator or programmer can set positive and negative software limits to restrict travel range.
Page 20: Enabling Vector Limits
CNC Setup Utility Manual P/N 70000499F - Builder Setup Enabling Vector Limits Vector limit switches, also called directional limit switches, define the CNC’s hardware travel limits. If installed, vector limits must be enabled for each axis in the Setup Utility. Once you enable the vector limits for an axis, the CNC prohibits machine motion in that direction beyond the limit switch.
Page 21: Setting Backlash Compensation
CNC Setup Utility Manual P/N 70000499F - Builder Setup Setting Backlash Compensation Backlash is the loss motion that occurs when the encoder reverses direction and begins to record motion before the table actually moves. Backlash compensation takes this loss motion into account and corrects the move.
Page 22: Setting Ballscrew Compensation
CNC Setup Utility Manual P/N 70000499F - Builder Setup Setting Ballscrew Compensation The CNC can compensate for inaccuracies along the ballscrew. This ensures a high degree of precision in the finished workpiece. NOTE: Perform a Machine Home sequence before enabling ballscrew compensation.
Page 23: Setting Table Entries
CNC Setup Utility Manual P/N 70000499F - Builder Setup Setting Table Entries NOTE: Refer to “Using the Automatic File Loader” for details on how to enter values from a file. Determine the amount of compensation required for each segment along an axis.
