Every TigerStop completes a home routine a set of automatic actions that verify TigerStop's parameters at every
power on
on start up. The
home routine is a five stage process as described below.
Prior to running the home routine, TigerStop automatically changes the values of several parameters and then changes them back.
The ramps, rate of acceleration and deceleration velocity, the constant speed at which TigerStop travels from point to point lash parameter in the motion menu, compensates for gear box back lash, adjusted to increase TigerStop accuracy when, for example, the drive belt has gradually stretched and min/max limits the close and far limits of TigerStop travel are saved.
Once saved, the acceleration parameters are set to 50 (normally set to 75)
Velocity parameters are reset to 5 ips inches per second
Maximum Limit is set to +1000
Minimum Limit is set to -1000
Lash parameter is set to 0.

Make sure NOTHING is in the path of the stop!
Press again.
The stop moves away from the blue motor box and begins to run through the 5 stages of the setup routine…
The stop the yellow flip-away stop attached to the TigerStop carriage
moves 1" (25mm) toward the zero end the end of the TigerStop fence closest to the saw or application machine,
opposite of home end, a functional designation of the TigerStop
to ensure that the carriage another name for the stop, the carriage glides back and forth inside
the fence, and the flipaway stop is attached to it by a hinge located
at the back of the fence
is outside of the end sensor. This also confirms that there is enough
room to move toward the home end the end of the TigerStop fence farthest away from the saw or application
machine, opposite of zero end, a functional designation of the TigerStop
of the fence in later stages.
The stop reverses direction and moves toward the home
end of the machine until it trips the end sensor. This confirms that the
sensor is sending a signal to indicate that the carriage is blocked.
The value of the velocity parameter is automatically
reset to 1 ips, and the stop backs away 1" (25mm) to clear the far
end sensor.
The stop moves slowly and precisely back to the home
end sensor again until it is tripped. The position displayed on screen
is reset to the calibration parameter saved in the motion menu.
The stop again moves back 1" (25mm) to clear the
home end sensor. Velocity
and acceleration parameters are restored to the values saved in the motion
menu.
After stage 5, the display returns to the Ready screen
