    Okuma Z axis machine set

    Hello, I got a Okuma Cadet V4020 mill with osp 5020M controll. My first milling machine ever. My machine shop had only Okuma cnc lathes till now. So to move in that mill i had to take off the motor and lower the spindle. Once it was inside I put the motor back, but now the motor encoder is not in the same position to the ball screw or the machine data. How do I adjust the machine setting?

    As you removed and reinstalled the spindle motor,
    the motor encoder position is likely misaligned relative to the machine’s absolute positioning system.

    Yes, do you know how to reset it?
