Re: Z-Axis Doesn’t Retract After Probing – Can’t Move Axis


Choose Continuous jog mode ("CONT", meaning that the "INCR" light is off).

Press and hold the yellow "Z+" jog button until the probe is clear.

If the only way you know to move an axis is by spinning the MPG wheel, and (like many operators) you do not want to know any other way, then just turn ...

Re: Z-Axis Doesn’t Retract After Probing – Can’t Move Axis

I'm using the TT from Sorotec:

And as a probe, I'm using a cheap one from AliExpress.

Strangely, when I configure the TT as a touch plate in CNC12 and probe Z0, the Z-axis does perform a retract after the probing ...

Z-Axis Doesn’t Retract After Probing – Can’t Move Axis

Hi everyone,
does anyone have a solution for this issue? Probably the problem is sitting in front of the machine, as usual. :D

When probing Z0 using either the Tool Touch Off (TT) or the Touch Probe (TP), the Z-axis does not move up after the probing cycle finishes.
The new Z value is saved ...

Homing Y-Axis at the Back, but Home Position at the Front

Hi everyone,

I want to mount the limit switch for my Y-axis at the back so that the homing sequence moves towards the rear of the machine. However, I would like the home position to be at the front, i.e., at Y = 0 mm at the front edge.

Is there a way in the controller to set an offset so that ...

Re: Issue with TMC AC Servo Motors and Centroit Acron - Speed Limitation?

I think the settings regarding steps/revs and the overall turn ratio are fine. When I move the axis by 5mm, the drive completes one full revolution.

Issue with TMC AC Servo Motors and Centroit Acron - Speed Limitation? <resolved >

Hi everyone,

Today, my TMC AC servo motors arrived, and I started setting them up.
I configured them to run at **4000 steps per revolution**, which was straightforward.

I'm aiming for a **G0 speed of 8000 mm/min**, but unfortunately, **Centroit Acron only allows me to set 1200 mm/min**.
