Power Up and Power Down (CMM)

Be certain to follow these instructions exactly as written. The CMM is a complicated precision measurement equipment and can be damaged easily if it isn't turned on properly.

Turning the machine on

• Clean the air bearing area of the granite surface plate with surface plate cleaner if required. Use a clean paper towel and ensure the bearing area is clean and dry.
• Turn ON the wall mounted compressed air (CMM AIR) valve.
• Turn ON the rotary isolator labelled CMM MACHINE POWER located on back of the black control cabinet.
• Turn ON the controller PC and log in.
• On the PC, open CMM Manager from the desktop.
  The software may ask for a username and company, which should be prepopulated.
  Username:                 User
  Company:                  Salford Uni
• On the PC a window will appear “The machine is going to perform a homing operation”. Click OK.
• Press the MASTER START button on the machine pendant when prompted.
• Manually jog the probe head to a safe location if required.
  Press the JOG ENABLE button on the pendant and then use the joystick to move the probe head.
• Once the probe is safe press the ENTER button.
  The machine will now home itself into the top-back-left corner of the machine.

Turning the machine off

• Manually jog the probe head to a safe location, close to the home position in the back top left.
  Press the JOG ENABLE button on the pendant and then use the joystick to move the probe head.
• On the PC, close CMM Manager and shut down.
  If you are running the demo part do not save any changes.
• Turn OFF the wall mounted compressed air (CMM AIR) valve.
  Do not jog the machine with the pendant with CMM AIR turned off.
• Turn OFF the rotary isolator labelled CMM MACHINE POWER located on back of the black control cabinet.
