Part Options 252
Instructions
1) To start the Automatic Plate Alignment function, manually position the Plate Sensor above the
plate. At this point the Auto Plate Align Sensor Input should be active.
2) Press the Automatic Plate Align Soft key at the Part Options screen.
3) A motion sequence will then be executed to detect the right, left, top, bottom and bottom right
skew reference edges of the plate. In each case, the control will move to the outward edge of the
plate until the sensor detects the edge of the plate (off state). The control will then reverse
motion at a med speed until the sensor again becomes active then moves off at a slow speed.
This position is recorded as the respective reference point. Motion continues until all five points
are detected.
4) Upon completing detection of the five reference points, the control will then position the Plate
Sensor (if no tool offset used) or the torch (if a tool offset is used) to the start point of the part
program. Scrap Clearance (from the Align screen) and Start Corner (from the Align screen) will
also be executed in the final position move, and will set the plate size to the detected dimension.
