    Resetting Machine Zero

    We recently had our Z axis encoder rebuilt on our Miyano TSV-C37 which uses a Yasnac i80M controller. Does anyone know how I would go about resetting machine zero for the Z axis? Since we reinstalled the motor and encoder, it's way off. Specific or generic advice are both welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

    Generic-

    machines home by finding a home limit switch. Then switching to look for an index mark on the encoder. If you're off more than one screw revolution, look to the switch. Less than 1, rotate the encoder by lossening the coupler connection.

    That will get you close. Is it then up to the gridshift parameters to fine tune the position?

    Share the info. What did you have to do to fix it? This will help if someone else has the same issue and comes across this thread during a search.
