This option allows CNC Bender to always bring the rotation spindle back to the original home position at the beginning of the bend cycle. The feature is useful for situations where the collet must relocate in the same position at the beginning every part cycle.

The sister command is the Absolute Rotation OFFSET, which allows you to specify and offset value when moving into the START position.

-PERSISTENT and PERMANENT ZERO: Since this absolute zero value for the rotation is based upon the index pulse of the rotation axis encoder, this location can always be found again at any time in the future, even if the bender is powered down.
+===PERSISTENT and PERMANENT ZERO===
-THE MACHINE LOCATES THIS ZERO AGAIN IN THE HOME PROCESS:  If this option is switched OFF during the day, then the ZERO degree location for the rotation is no longer absolute.  To locate and retain the absolute ZERO degree location, it is only necessary to RE-HOME the machine.  After the machine is homed, ENABLE this feature in PRE-BENDING for every part.
