What is automatic squaring?
During installation, the gantry must be installed squarely and hard stops must be installed in the correct places. Once this is done, whenever the machine is started for the first time each day, the operator is asked if he/she would like to “home the machine.” Clicking the radio button for “homing” causes the machine to perform an electronic check and reset of the electronics to correct any possible problem. When “homing” is completed the gantry is guaranteed to produce square cuts even if it has had a bump or has encountered something left on the guide rails. It eliminates the problem of one side being one or two gear teeth ahead of the other that is common on other machines.
