Adjusting racking position correction VPK


The fine adjustment of the transfer racking is carried out by means of the VPK value. With the program point Корекция на Позицията на Чупката the rear needle bed is aligned exactly relative to the front needle bed.
The VPK value always remains saved, even if the operating system is imported again.
