Calibrate B-axis Center

It is used to calculate the machine coordinate of B-axis center through calibration at the first time to use the system or when mechanical deviation exists.

Before calibrating B-axis center, ensure the following:

• X-axis has been returned to the machine origin.

  See Executing returning to the machine origin for details.

• The set tube size is the same with the actual one.

  See Set the tube type and size for details.

To calibrate B-axis center, do the following:

1. Put a standard rectangular tube without chamfer into the chuck.

2. Place the tube horizontally and move the cutting head above the tube.

3. In the menu bar, click Advanced → Calibrate B-axis Center. Calibrate B-axis Center dialog box pops up:

   

4. Click Calibrate.

The system starts to calibrate B-axis center:

1. Level the tube:

   

2. Find B-axis center:

   Taking one face of the tube as an example:

   

After calibrating B-axis center, the result shows in Result area.

If you are not satisfied with the result, manually input coordinates in the input box Machine Center(Z-Direct) or Machine Center(X-Direct) in Result area.
