CNC Setup
CNC test functions for multiple axes
Multiple axes are tested together in vector moves
after the individual axes have been tuned. Multiple
axes are tested using the CNC test screen. Test
functions include:
Enable
Any combination of axes can be tested together.
Check the Enable boxes of the axes that you want
to test.
Test distance
A multiple axis test consists of the CNC move on all
axes simultaneously. The test distances are entered
into the test distance fields before starting the test.
Set home
Touch the Set home button to set the
current position of the stage to home
(zero) on all enabled axes. Vector test
moves are made from this home position to the test
distances specified for the enabled axes.
Test
Touch the Test button to initiate a test move. Repeatedly touching the Test button alternately
moves the stage from home to the test distance and from the test distance back to home.
Observe the combined-axis motion and position using performance indicators on the CNC
Test screen. If the combined axis motion includes oscillation or is unsatisfactory in some way, return to the
CNC setup screen and readjust one or more single axis until the combined-axis motion is acceptable.
CAUTION
Axes can move very quickly. To avoid damage to the equipment, when performing
a test, be prepared to touch the Stop button. If the CNC motion begins to run away,
touch the Stop button immediately.
