NC. It can be used for checking the accuracy of the reference
switches.

Relatively small step discrepancies may be due to the switches.
Large discrepancies, on the other hand, indicate previous step losses.
It is a good idea to use the CHECK POSITION function if:
• you presume steps have been lost due to a collision
• you want to determine the maximum machining speed for a tool or
a material, which means you want to demonstrate whether or not
steps have been lost
• the position was changed during a tool change
i
It is only possible to check the reference position if reference
movement was performed previously and there was no cancel
due to a limit switch or a stop signal.
