From the main menu, select Utilities → Setup → Head
Calibration
The Head Calibration window displays.
CAUTION
When
either Calibrate Head button is pressed,
the system immediately moves the gantry to the most recently taught
calibration location. It first moves the X and Y axes, and then
moves the Z axis.
Ensure a clear travel path exists through the work area
for both heads.
Click the applicable button: Calibrate Head 1 or Calibrate
Head 2.
Using the X and Y jog buttons, center the tip of the
needle over the hole in the calibration plate.
Using the Z axis jog buttons, adjust the tip of needle
so it is positioned just above the surface of the calibration plate.
Click the Set button.
Click the OK button for each
location prompt, and then select YES for the
overall offset prompt.
Use the Z- button to raise
the needle upward, away from the calibration plate.
If a second needle/head position needs to be calibrated,
repeat the prior “Calibrate needle” step for that head.
Remove the calibration plate from the work area and store
for future use.
Close the Head Calibration window.
Click the Home button.
Set the Run/Maintenance keyed lock on the front control
panel to Run.
