button will confirm a given menu choice and return you to the main menu.
WHEN CONFIRMING CERTAIN MENU OPTIONS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE SYSTEM WILL NEED TO MOVE TO
PERFORM THE REQUESTED OPERATION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT BEFORE YOU CONFIRM THESE CHOICES TO
MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU REMOVE ANY MATERIALS THAT MIGHT OBSTRUCT THE MOVEMENT OF THE MOTION
SYSTEM UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED. ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE PLUNGER AND/OR
THE DIAMOND TIP WHEN THE MOTION SYSTEM AND/OR WORK TABLE IS IN MOTION.
ONE FINAL NOTE
A few of the menus you will encounter look like the one below. Let's take a moment to go over the three different
types of positions to help familiarize you with each.
•
Current Offset – For whichever menu option you are in, if you
have an offset already in memory it will be displayed here.
Pressing
under Current Offset, will move the X, Y-axis to that
position.
•
Absolute Position – This is the current position of the X, Y and Z-
axis. You will note as you move any of the three axis these values
will change to represent the current position. Pressing
Y-axis to the mechanical home position.
•
Relative Position – This value is the difference between the Absolute Position and the Current Offset.
