Finding Machine Reference (Cold Start)

The FADAL machine tool has software limits and does not contain position
limit switches. Therefore, the machine tool must be physically located at
set alignment marks. The Siemens control automatically powers on in the
machine reference mode. It is recommended that the machine be shut
down at its axis alignment position to simplify the Power On procedure.
