what kind of machine? photo please.

looking at the report.zip the travel limit for Z is a positive value.. which is not normal for most machines. please post photos of the machine with a few close ups of the Z axis with home switch locations.,

[cnckeith]

and post a copy of the offending G code program.

[cnckeith]

ok.. thanks for the photos of the electrical cabinet.. would be nice to have some more photos of the machine tool so we can understand what the machine configuration is.

where do you set the X Y Home position on this machine?

[cnckeith]

the hills and valleys program calls out a G54, where do you set G54 X0 and Y0 on the table? the program must fit within the work envelope to run.
the travel exceeded message is telling you that the program will not fit on the table using the G54 position you have set.
reset the G54 X0Y0 on the table so program fits on machine, use the "F8 Graph" gcode graphing feature to figure out where the X0Y0 G54 position is in the gcode program as seen in graphic below and then set the X0Y0 position on the table to match.

Paul,
always type long responses in a word processor. then cut and past into forum post.

theses are the items you must get correct to machine a part

1.) Set Home Position (this is Machine Home postion from which the travel limits are measured, this is all the way X minus and all the way Y-)
2.) Set G54 PART ZERO position on the machine tool (F1 setup, F1 part) ....(this is different than home) this position matches the XY zero position used in the CAD/CAM system. Graph the G code program to identify the X0Y0 position used by the CAD/CAM operator.
3.) Use "F8 Graph" to backplot the G code program, CNC12 will check to see if the program fits in the work envelope with the G54 position set.

to get oriented.

Can you jog your machine to Y2072.47?

[Centroid_Tech]

Did you modify your Part0 positions after you posted your report on the forum? Looking at your report, you have a maximum distance of 2660mm on the Y axis and you have set Part0 for Y to 55.2mm. That means in the program that you posted using the G54 coordinate, the values for the Y axis can be from -55.2mm to 2604.8mm. You should have more than enough distance on the Y axis based on the report and program that you posted which is very confusing on why you are getting that message.

I would agree with Tom in testing whether or not you can manually jog to that location. If not, I'm curious what the values on the DRO show you as the maximum travel for the Y axis.

I'm new to CNC12 and Acorn, so I'm not sure if I can be much help.

But according to what I'm seeing in that last report and from images, posted here in this thread, your X axis settings should be different.

Currently you have:
X 0.0000 1260.0000
Maybe this should be:
X 660.0000 660.0000 (I believe this sets your X travel limits to be from -660.0000 to 660.0000)

Are we troubleshooting a different file now?
Shouldn't we get the first one working before moving on to a new one?

It looks like your machine travel limits are the main issue(s) here. (I think)
