Yeah, my return positions are set in G30 P3. Just not moving when I use auto measure F3, batch measure F4 moves to G30 P3 position fine.

Hello, I just got finished configuring 5.18 I noticed that the machine does not move to the G30 return position when calling for an auto measurement (Auto Measure F3) of tool offset. When I use the batch measure it moves to the fixed TT position, just not when I use Auto Measure. What macro gets kic...

Solved, stupid mistake. I was using an older tool offset library for some reason. Remeasured all tools. All is good now. I should have known better than to jump the gun. Oh well.

Hello, In the past few days I have noticed some tool offsets do not seem to be working. Certain tools cut deeper than they should and others cut too deep. I use the tool offset library with a rack mount ATC. All was working perfect for quite some time. All through version 5.1 I checked z mechanical ...

Without any pictures and not knowing your machine my first thought would be that over time mechanical things may have maybe broken in and loosened up a bit leaving less resistance. It may have just been enough resistance in the past to hold the Z axis up.

Sounds like you need a brake on your Z axis if you are using servos.

Do you have the inputs fed with 24v on the 24v terminal?

Yes, with the bearings mounted very low as well.

This is great news, looks really nice. Thank you Swissi for all your hard work. I agree, support has always been great. Any idea on a time frame for rack mount ATC users? I look forward to it.
