1. IO Function Redefine: define the function of buttons on table.
Change the knife(4 steps: 1. Brush rise; 2. Loose the bit;3. Install router bit;
4. Finish, Brush down)
2. The IO function redefines 1: define the function of buttons on table.
Material thickness detection: After define this function, brush will detect
material thickness once when press the button on table.
3. 2 AKI mode: TK model must be set 2 AKI model(2+2 model), BK model
should be set 2 AKI model (1+1model)
4. Enable tool changing speed: Control cleaning, speed during tool change.
Tick it means select working speed, use for normal running speed.
Untick it means select testing speed, use for testing, all speed is much
lower than working speed.
5. Turn on automatic tool change: Confirm if this model have automatic tool
change or not( select accordingly), after turn on automatic tool change function,

machine will go AKI automatically after initialization( Current cutting head no
allowed to be empty)
6. Brush down again depth: this configuration control brush down depth when
cutting, it will affect cutting, dust collection a lot. (The configuration could be
modify by cutter material thickness detect -B MTD)
7. Fine-tune height of brush when cleaning cover: control brush down
compensation when cleaning the cover.
8. Milling blade control way: 1.8KW router use PC, 350W router use C board.
9. Change tool way: 4041 (auto change)/4040(manual change)/4064 (3.6KW
router.)
1kw router/1.8kw router/3.6kw router
For change the router bit, correction shifting.
4040 (Manual change)
make manual change, material thickness detect
3060 (350w): No icon shown.
10. Brush re-depth: After the material thickness is detected, the height of the
brush is compensated (range 0-12.7mm).
