Re: Bed Mill Z reference problem Z axis travel exceeded

The problem is obvious to me now it shows in these two pictures The first thing I'm machining is a new z axis to put on the ball screw I was waiting for so i didn't have all of my ma...

Re: Bed Mill Z reference problem Z axis travel exceeded

Thank you for your response but that's what I did first because I have the ZRI, so before I made the complaint I did it the text book centroid way. I am getting the same Z axis travel exceeded. I just did it again the way you asked me to do and I get the same message.

Yes all of this is great so far I'm learning and waiting on the mpg release. Its a little x2(lms3900) small that I scraped all of the ways and upgraded to ground screws on the X and Y with another on hand for the Z which that's on the list to do.

Re: Defeat Limit switch?

Ah ok It seemed like it wasn't an issue since I could barley find any information on it. Luckily I had a switch laying around I wired it into the same input as my Limit switches and to the acorns common so it would disable the limit switches, I quickly realized no one is on the forums on a Sunday wa...

Defeat Limit switch?

Why do I not have a "defeat limits" button under reset home as shown in Marty's virtual control panel video? I searched for about an hour and a few people mentioned the button on the VCP, and wiring I guess a momentary switch. I am working on the swiches and homing and zri feature but my m...

Re: Help to figure out mach 3 Dc spindle control to Acorn Dc spindle control

Thanks for the response, I'm not being difficult on purpose. A 56 frame ac motor wouldn't fit my small mill. I have a c6 speed control board not being used, is it possible to connect it(c6) to the acorn I would have to replace the pot in manual mode. Or one of those cheap pwm to analog boards.
