Machine origin is a reference position from which Tool locations, lengths and saved offsets can be recalled. Machine origin is always located in the bottom left corner of the machine. Once the machine has been homed, machine origin is no longer a concern for the user. Working Origin: Working origin, also called Origin, or XYZ zero position, is the coordinate system the part to be cut exists in. Working origin can be saved by the user anywhere on the table. If the working origin is set too close to the gantry, and the G-code file has positions beyond the size of the table, an error message will be produced stating that an over travel limit has been reached. Use the Save Origin button to save an origin. Offsets: Offsets are just another name for a saved Working Origin. Different offsets can be saved using the Save Origin function, but instead of naming the offset 1, pick a different number. Offsets can be activated in the interface by clicking ACTIVATE ORIGIN in the Offset Menu and in the G-code by using the function : (UAO,0#) Where # is the offset number.

  • Page 46 HDS Series V. Machine Lubrication 5.1 Lubricating the X-Y Rack and Pinion. Lubrication is important with rack and pinion gearing systems. A thin film of grease should always be present on the contacting tooth flanks to minimize metal to metal contact. Lithium grease lubrication is recommended over oil, as the oil lubrication will flow away from tooth flanks. The racks should be cleaned with a degreasing agent Y axis and fresh clean grease should be applied at regular intervals depending on the usage of the machine. It is recommended that this is done every 80 hours of machine usage. Use a small brush to coat both racks on the side of the Y axis and the single rack across the X axis. 5.2 Lubricating the X-Y-Z Rails The rail carriage bearings are sealed and protected with wipers. The rails should be lightly oiled to allow smooth operation. Avoid a build up of debris on the rails by blowing them off with air or wiping them down with a rag. The rails do not need to be lubricated as often as the rack. Once a month should be sufficient. X axis Recommended Lubricants. *Lubrication gun is not provided with the mahine!! * Some machines have zero fitting for rail carriage bearings, while some machines do not!
