2. Procedure

2.1. Align and measure the table height

Measure the height of the table close to the support bars, it is measured from the top of the support pillars.Remove all other pillars and use the same pillar for all measurements to avoid measuring errors.

Adjust the height of the support bars until the table is parallel with top plate of the stacker.The difference in table height between the measurements (parallel error) should be less than 0,1 mm.

Instead of manually adjusting the table to a manageable height for the measurement, you can use the software to move the table via the motors.Be aware that the indicated current position may not be accurate!Don’t move the table too close to the top or the bottom.The buttons on the bottom left can be used to select the front or the back table.
