General Measuring
Getting Started
Set machine zero
Machine zero is the location where all three axes of the coordinate measuring
machine (CMM) read zero. This is an arbitrary point usually selected because it
is at the end of negative travel for each axis. Since the machine zero position can
vary from machine to machine, consult the distributor or manufacturer infor-
mation for the specific procedure.
To set machine zero
Step 1
Double-click the QC5000 icon on the Windows NT desktop.
Step 2
Move the axes of the CMM to the machine zero position (consult the CMM
user guide for more information) when the dialog box appears o the screen.
Step 3
Click OK in the dialog box.
