Rotate around Z axis

So that's the z axis.

If that's the y axis, that's our x axis, that's our z axis.

So this is my x axis, this is my z axis, this is the y. x, y, z.

Jog the Z axis to home position

Raise the Z axis up and command the C axis to C90

The spindle usually moves in the z axis.

So this is along the x z axis.

And now my z axis I can't make it.

Once Z axis is at home, remove the bracket

This was the x axis. x, y and z. x, y, z minus I just picked one of these.

While lying with the z axis perpendicular to gravity only the ball on the x axis spring shows extension.

Move the spindle head down to the middle of Z axis travel

Then jog the turret along the Z axis towards the spindle getting to the end of Z travel if possible

Turn this on it side so that z axis point up and only the accelerometer along the spring on that axis stretches.

Raise the Z axis out of the way and recall that, in our case, we adjusted the B axis position to B0.003

The B axis has been aligned to both the Y Z and X Y planes

Next, move your indicator out of the way and zero return the B axis and bring Z axis back down to indicate the surface.

The bracket will be removed after the Z axis has been moved to home position after startup

Continue to adjust the leveling screws until the bubble reads zero at both ends of Z axis travel

Parameter 1308 tells the machine where the B axis of Rotation lies, compared to the Z home position

So we could take that cube and then add it along the up and down axis the z axis so that we get the volume of a column.

The shorter level vial will be parallel to the Z axis and indicates the tilt of the machine from left to right

Moving the Z axis in tenths mode, bring the Test Indicator down to contact the mill table and zero the test indicator

Once settled, move the turret back across full Z axis travel to the spindle side and note which direction the level is tilting

So I like to draw my x and y axes in the traditional manner, then have the z axis popping in and out.

Zero return the B and C axes, mount your indicator on the spindle, and bring Z axis down to indicate the table face

1, 1, z, z looks like this z would look like, z would look like that.

So lets draw this on an argand diagram, so that's my real axis, this is my imaginary axis, this is my imaginary axis, and so, this is the real, this the imaginary, and if I wanted to represent z equals 1, it only has a real part.

Z squared minus 4 is z plus 2 times z minus 2.

(t time z 2 minus z 1). Is this equal to the argument of (z 2 minus z 1)?

After tightening the level screw lock nuts, verify with one more pass along the Z axis that there is still no twist in the machine

After leveling the machine, our first alignment task is to check that the B axis is parallel to the Y axis up and down in the Y Z plane, and side to side in the X Y plane

So if a is z, so it's z plus 2 times z minus 2.

Jog the Z axis to bring the test indicator down to contact the table and zero the test indicator at the operator side of the table

It's z plus 2 times z minus 2.

So times z plus 1, times z plus 1.

So it's z plus 4 times z minus 2.

Since this is a two dimensional format, it's hard to do it, but I'll draw it with a little perspective the z axis, this is the back.

And, let's draw the vectored Z 2 minus Z 1 so let's say that this here is the vector and lets draw the vector Z 2 minus Z 1 now what would T times Z 2 minus Z 1 look like?

That's my y axis, x axis.

(t 1) times (z 2 minus z 1) is going to look like this. This is (t minus 1) times (z 2 minus z 1).

This is (t times z 2 minus z 1) and the green one, just to be clear is (z 2 minus z 1) is that.
