Machine Zero Points

Note: this function is deliberately semi-concealed so that the operator cannot access this menu by mistake and
inadvertently alter the data.
The machine comes with a 'self-calibration' procedure, using a regulating template Z21 (provided) (Ch.
1.5 "Accessories provided", page 8) and special procedures. Such procedures must be carried out
strictly according to the descriptions and illustrations.
Regulation is necessary when the following events occur:
Replacement of electronic board
Replacement of sensors
Replacement of ball screws
Replacement or maintenance of decoder
P
RELIMINARY OPERATIONS
1) Turn the machine off and unplug from the mains.

3) loosen the 3 fixing screws (B5) and remove the X axis carriage cover by pulling in the direction
shown (fig. 46).
4) replace the plug in the mains socket.
5) turn the machine on and carry on with the procedure described below.
Attention: the 'Machine Zero Point' loading operation must be carried out following the instructions given to the
letter. After this operation no keys can be cut or decoded because the machine program will require
new calibration of all the clamps!
