How to change X axis direction
C1000T Turning Controller User:
How do we change axis directions of Lathe? Ie: Our X- coordinates are on the opposite side of the lathe, how do we change/flip the X direction?
How do we set the machine home position? When we press the machine Zero button it hits hard limits

1- How do we change axis directions of Lathe?
Please change bit parameter No.8, find the value of the X axis, if it is 0 please change it to 1, if it is 1 then please change it to 0.
2-How do we set the machine home position?
1.3.2 Machine coordinate system, Machine Zero and machine reference point
Machine tool coordinate system is a benchmark one used for CNC counting coordinates and a
fixed one on the machine tool. Machine tool zero is a fixed point which position is specified by zero
switch or zero return switch on the machine tool. Usually, the zero return switch is installed on max.
stroke in X, Z positive direction. Machine reference point is located at the position at which the
machine zero value adding the data parameter No.114/No.115 value. When No.114/No.115 value is 0,
the machine reference point coincides with the machine zero. The coordinates of machine reference
point is the No.120/No.121 value. Machine zero return/G28 zero return is to execute the machine
reference point return. After the machine zero return/machine reference point return is completed,
C1000T machine coordinate system which takes No.120/No.121 value as the reference point. Note:
Do not execute the machine reference point return without the reference point switch installed on the
machine tool, otherwise, the motion exceeds the travel limit and the machine to be damaged
