User Interface

Part following

The Part following function is included in the Extra tab of sys-

tems with the CNC option. Part following changes the motion

reference from the machine coordinate system to the part coordi-

nate system after a part skew has been performed. For example, if a skew

is performed along the part’s X-axis, when part following is enabled, subsequent X-axis motion will follow

the part skew, not the machine coordinate’s X-axis. When the user touches the Part following function,

part following is toggled on or off.

Stop motion

The Stop motion function is included in the Extra tab of systems with the

CNC option to stop all stage motion. When the user touches the Stop mo-

tion function, motion is toggled on or off.

Goto feature

The Goto feature function is included in the Extra tab of systems with the CNC option. When the

user touches the Goto function, the stage is moved to position the probe over the feature currently

selected in the feature list.

Multiple Extra tabs

Multiple Extra tabs might be necessary to display all the Extra tab functions available. Touch the Extra tab

repeatedly to access multiple tabs.
