Manual move with joystick
MOVE-REFERENCE
The function REFERENCE MOVE also called homing runs all axes
to the reference switches in a defined sequence.
Reference point
of the machine
Every axis starts moving at reference speed 1 and searches for the
reference switch of the machine. Movement stops when the switch
changes its level. Then movement starts at speed 2 in the opposite
direction back away from the switch. The edge of the reference
switch defines the reference point for this axis.
Sequence of reference movement to the reference switch
WinPC-NC needs to know the current positions of all axes. As a
result, reference movement is essential before a working process.
Reference movement is also triggered by pressing the (F8) key, or
using the reference button.
MOVE-SELECT TOOL...
There is a special dialog box for controlling the tool change or if tool
length measurement is activated. It can be activated using the menu
function or the tool list button.
