3.5.7.7 Z and Tilt axes operation
(1) Priority of Z or Tilt axis
The movable range of the Z and Tilt axes is limited by all other axes conditions. Maximum tilt
angle is limited to 4° when the Z is 2.5 mm, or minimum the Z is limited to 22 mm when the tilt
angle is 60°.
The Priority button selects which axis has priority when moving the stage (available with non-
continuous movement).
When Priority-Z is selected, Z can be set within a full range. If Tilt is out of its movable range,
it is changed to be within its movable range automatically. When Priority-Tilt is selected, Tilt
can be set within a full range. If Z is out of its movable range, it is changed to be within its
movable range automatically.
This priority selection is available only when the Continuous checkbox is off.
For example when 45° tilt is necessary, first select Tilt of the Priority buttons and set Tilt
scrollber to 45. The blue indication above the Z scrollbar shows allowable range of Z axis for
45° tilt angle. Specify Z value within the range.
