5.2.3 Carrying out homing
Overview
Warning
Danger of injury!
Electric axes move with high force and at high speed.
Collisions can lead to serious injury to human beings and
damage to components.
· Make sure that nobody can reach into the sphere of
influence of the axes or other connected actuators and
that no items are within the positioning range while the
system is connected to energy sources.
Caution
When the homing method is changed, the axis zero point
offset is reset to the factory settings (see section 5.2.4).
Existing parametrised software end positions and target
positions already set in the position set table are shifted
together with the axis zero point.
· Always carry out a reference run after changing the
referencing method.
· Teach the offset of the axis zero point again if needed.
If the axis zero point is modified:
· Teach the software end positions and the target
positions again if needed.
The homing run process is described in section 1.1.6.
