If you have replaced an angle encoder used for oriented spindle stop (e.g. for tool change), you must
now readjust the spindle preset.
8 Set MP3430 to zero.
8 Run the spindle at low speed.
8 Orient the spindle to zero position.
8 Check the position that is established.
8 Stop spindle orientation (M5); the spindle must be free to rotate.
8 Set the display to REF. --> Now you see the deviation of the reference mark from the desired
position.
8 Rotate the spindle to correct position (use e.g. dial indicator, touch probe, orientation point, etc.)
8 Subtract the displayed value from 360° and enter the result in MP3430 (spindle preset).
8 Check, whether spindle orientation is correct!
8 Set the display to ACTL.
Further information --> See ”Reference run” on page 20 – 323.

zero position defined in MP3430.
If necessary, contact the machine manufacturer!
