Machine Setup parameters are set by the manufacturer specifically for your CNC
routing machine. It is usually unnecessary to change the Machine Setup defaults unless the parameters of the
actual machine change.
Pulse Equivalence – Number of pulses sent by system to stepper motor for each 1mm of movement (unit:
pulse/mm).
Table Size – Preset values; prevents machine over-travel. Verify table size from Specifications.
1. Press or key to select.
2. Press RUN/PAUSE, and input number.
3. Press OK to save.
4. Repeat for Y and Z axis values. Press OK to save all values.
Spindle Delay – Sets the time at which the spindle starts after reading the file (unit: microseconds).
Spindle State
Home Speed – Sets speed separately for each axis when homing; default is X/Y: 3000 mm/min. and Z: 1800
mm/min.
Home Order – Sets desired sequence of axes when homing.
Home Direction – Sets each axis for positive or negative direction, based on Home position.
Acceleration – Can be adjusted to improve line and curve motions; default is 800 mm/s
2
.
Start Speed – Sets skip speed and completion speed.
Voltage Setup – Sets input and output terminal status.
C.A.D. Thickness – Thickness of tool touch-off puck. Z-axis movement is established by the software file, but
can be changed here manually.
Max Speed Limit – Sets maximum speed of head movement; defaults are X/Y: 60,000,000; Z+: 1800, Z-: 3000.
Distance Time Limit – Sets period in which machine can sit idle before reverting to continuous mode; default is
30 seconds.
Input Configuration
C.A.D. Position
Work Speed – Sets work speed (default 6000 mm/min.) and fast speed (default 3000 mm/min.).
Safe Height – How high the file can process (mm).
Auto Scale
Fall Scale – Sets fall scale (default 0.200mm) and fall height (default 5.000mm). Fall down scale takes effect
when spindle descends to fall height.
Stop State – Establishes router head stop position after machine is done. Press X+/- to select line; press
RUN/PAUSE to input desired number, then OK.
