This compensation can compensate for slight unevenness in the material surface. It is intended for relatively small compensation with a smooth, natural behavior.

The compensation is applied directly to the motion of the Z axis, therefore the acceleration profile is determined by the shape of the compensation.

In cases where the compensation is not continuous, position errors may occur depending on the driver type used, the quantity of the discontinuity, and the speed of the actuators used. In open-loop systems, this may result in lost steps, and in closed-loop systems, this may result in a position following error.

This button will pop up an interpreter dialog for the automatic measurement macro using a touch probe. It executes the 

 macro. We provide a default implementation for this in the default macro file, but this may be modified by the machine builder or user. These instructions assume the use of the unmodified macro.

 will not run the Z Height Calibration macro. Pressing 

 will render the movements of the macro in the job view. Executing the macro again after the render is complete will open the dialog again with the previously entered values. Adjustments can be made and the calibration can be started.

After the calibration is complete, the measurements will be loaded into the software, but it is not activated yet. This is done by either checking the 

 command. Additionally, the compensation is saved to the installation directory as 

This button saves the measurements to a file. A dialog opens where the location and name of the file can be selected.

This button will open a file dialog where the file containing the calibrations must be selected. This loads the file, but it does not activate the Z height compensation yet. This is done by either checking the 

This button checks the currently loaded compensation file for completeness. This executes the 

This button will move the machine to the first measurement point in the Z height compensation grid. It executes the 

Checking this checkbox will enable the Z height compensation, unchecking it will disable the Z height compensation.

Checking this checkbox will show the compensation values in the DRO.
