Step 5 - Take the First Manual Hit

When you start the calibration procedure for the LSPX1C / HR-X (HR-X1-P) Probe Changer, a series of message boxes prompts you through the process of measuring a series of manual hits. The first two hits are required to fully define the orientation of the rack in the machine’s XY plane. It is not necessary to align the rack to any single axis, as the manual hits identify any rotation involved. Follow the prompts and take the needed hits as shown in the pictures for each hit.

You take the first hit on the front surface on the left side of the last port. You should take the hit on the flat surface (avoid the tapered corner). The prompt for the first hit on the front surface of the last port is:

2. Use your machine's jog box to take the first manual hit in the XY plane on the vertical face on the front left face of the last port as shown below:
