How to change X axis direction

C1000T Turning Controller User:

How do we change axis directions of Lathe? Ie: Our X- coordinates are on the opposite side of the lathe, how do we change/flip the X direction?

How do we set the machine home position? When we press the machine Zero button it hits hard limits

1- How do we change axis directions of Lathe?

Please change bit parameter No.8, find the value of the X axis, if it is 0 please change it to 1, if it is 1 then please change it to 0.

2-How do we set the machine home position?

1.3.2 Machine coordinate system, Machine Zero and machine reference point

Machine tool coordinate system is a benchmark one used for CNC counting coordinates and a

fixed one on the machine tool. Machine tool zero is a fixed point which position is specified by zero

switch or zero return switch on the machine tool. Usually, the zero return switch is installed on max.

stroke in X, Z positive direction. Machine reference point is located at the position at which the

machine zero value adding the data parameter No.114/No.115 value. When No.114/No.115 value is 0,

the machine reference point coincides with the machine zero. The coordinates of machine reference

point is the No.120/No.121 value. Machine zero return/G28 zero return is to execute the machine

reference point return. After the machine zero return/machine reference point return is completed,

C1000T machine coordinate system which takes No.120/No.121 value as the reference point. Note:

Do not execute the machine reference point return without the reference point switch installed on the

machine tool, otherwise, the motion exceeds the travel limit and the machine to be damaged
