Height Sensor Calibration

Height Sensor Calibration

By activating this program, it is used to calibrate the height sensor i.e., Z-axis.

HeightSensor

This helps to detect the work piece according to the material and thickness of the sheet along with nozzle to calibrate the height between workpiece and nozzle in order to avoid collision while cutting is active.

There are 16 steps to calibrate the height sensor. Initially, once the program calls, the Nozzle from the height of the actual position touches the workpiece and moves upward to 20 mm.

Refer to the machine operation manual for further details
