Homing Fixed Stop

The Homing Fixed Stop feature allows for a homing process using a physical object that mechanically blocks the axis's movement. To this end, a Fixed Stop Detection Touch Probe object is nested within the Homing Fixed Stop object. The Homing Fixed Stop object should be used, for example, to reference the axis using a fixed stop. Signal analysis takes place within the context of the MET task. The homing procedure is configured in the Parameters (Init) tab.

Depending on the Show Hidden Children setting in the context menu of an overlying parent object, child objects are hidden. Parameters and data areas of the child object are visible in the parent object when this setting is disabled.

  • To display child objects, right-click the parent object (context menu) > and click Show Hidden Children.
