Roland Rotary Only -Using the
three screws provided, carefully
install the Rotary Adapter into the
rotary table face. This should be a
snug fit. Caution should be taken to
not have this crooked. Insert all three
screw finger tight before tightening
with the provided hex wrench.

Insert the Calibration Rod into
the Rotary Adapter and tighten
the clamping bolt.
If you have the Combo Fixture,
insert the Vertical Support
bracket just over the end of the
Rod.

Insert the 1/8” pin from the
Calibration kit into the spindle.
Leave approx. 1” sticking out of

the spindle.

The probe in the spindle will move out in front of the calibration rod and
touch off on the left then the right.
Usually the calibration process will have to make an adjustment to set the
centerline properly. When this happens, there will be a message pop up on
the screen instructing you to restart the machine. Shut down all of the
MachineWizard windows and then power down the Roland machine.
Once the machine has powered back up, start MachineWizard. The spindle
should move directly over the bolt when you press the View button to turn
off View mode. Make sure you move the Z axis back down to within
2mm of the top of the bolt before restarting the calibration cycles.
Continue to restart the “Y Center/Tool Sensor” calibration until the spindle

moves over to the tool sensor and touches the top of the tool sensor. Once
the tool sensor has been touched successfully, the calibration is complete.

The spindle probe will move over top the flat on the fixture. It will then
start touching off on both sides of centerline to set the fixture horizontally
in the “Flip” fixture offset.
Next the probe will move to the right of the fixture circle opening, drop
down, and scan to the left to find the edge of the fixture. Then it will move
to the right to locate the right edge. While moving to the newly found
circle center, the X axis of the “Flip” fixture offset will be set 4mm to the
left of center.
Finally, the Rotary unit will rotate 60 degrees and the probe will touch off
the face of the fixture just behind the triangle. This will set the X axis of
the “Arbor” fixture offset.
