Determining the Z-Axis Limit Sensor Position

HIOKI SF2400A961-01

3.19 Determining the Z-Axis Limit Sensor Position

Adjust the position of the Z-axis limit sensor according to the thickness of a workpiece to be

measured.

When the X-axis, Y-axis, or Z-axis limit sensor is activated, a move command from the PC is

canceled and any moving axes are stopped.
After the axes are stopped, only a move command in the direction opposite from the limit sensor is
accepted.

Although the X-axis and Y-axis limit sensor positions are xed, the Z-axis limit sensor position can

be adjusted. With consideration of the workpiece thickness and the distance between the axis and

the reception coil, adjust the Z-axis limit sensor height so that there is no interference with the stage

or a workpiece.
