7.4. Adjusting the software to the mechanical zero (0°) position

Carry out the following adjustment procedure successively every time a component
of the C-drive (motor, encoder, mechanics, Software) is exchanged or replaced.
The adjustment procedure includes all four drives of the device. This ensures, that
after a modification of a single axis, all the axis of the device are aligned and set
properly

and set. The defined travelling distances and tolerances are stated in the following
table

Axis manual driven motor driven

A ±225°, 1° ±224°, 2°

C +45° to -120°, 1° +44.5° to -119.5°, 1°
Y 0.0 to 28.0 cm, 0.5 cm 1.0 to 27.5 cm, 0.5 cm
Z 0.0 to 42.0 cm, 0.5 cm 0.5 to 41.5 cm, 0.5 cm

If the manual and/or motor driven travelling distances of one or all axis are not
archived, or if the display of the one or all axis does not correspond with the
mechanical positions, repeat the adjustment of the affected, respectively all axis

7.10.1. A-axis

Open the brake of the A-axis

Switch the motorization with DRIVE -/+ button OFF

Press Drive -/+ shortly to get the axis state shown

Close the brakes of the C-axis and Y-axis. Both axis

must be displayed with BRAKE

Move the A-axis manually to its maximum and

minimum position and read the shown value on the
GUI

The minimum CRA/CAU position should be displayed

with ±225° 1° and LIMIT

The maximum CRA/CAU position should be

displayed with ±225° 1° and LIMIT

If the mechanical positions didn`t correspond with

the display, adjust the correction value as described
before
