Homing cycle

The Homing cycle allows taking the reference on the 5 axes.

It can be started form the HMI page Service / Set-up using the dedicated button.

It can also be executed with the MDI command AUX,999 and so, a User button can be programmed for this purpose.

It can be performed either in automatic with all the doors closed or in manual (key switch of the console turned on "Manual
Mode") pressing the console button Start during the complete cycle.

Once stared, the green led of the start button on the console it lit on and the cycle is performed as following:

Z axis
move of the Z up to the limit switch
move down of the Z to the first reference of the motor encoder
set the Z scale coordinates to the top value (250mm for CUT E 350 and 600)
set the absolute coordinates using the scale coordinate values and the parameters Kin Step Z

UV axes
move of the U and V to their negative switches
move of the UV backward to find U and V first reference on their motor encoder
set the 0 of the U and V scale coordinates
move U and V to the middle of their course compensated by the parameters Kin Step U and Kin Step V

XY axes
move X and Y scale to their 0 scale coordinates

End of cycle, the green led of the start button is lit off.

In case of problem to take reference particularity if the 0 of scale coordinates of the X and Y axis seems to be shifted in the
middle of the course or if the UV 0 appear on the negative end of their course, perform the Macro Executer cycle "Linear
scale".
For this, refer to the dedicated procedure.
