The limit works, when my machine homes to the top of my Z-Axis and Zero's (0) the DRO, I can only move down -6.375" which I have done and the machine will stop. The same for all my other axes.Centroid_Tech wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 12:40 pm The Z axis software travel limit is a finite value. It should be the total distance that your Z axis can travel before it will hit something.
You can use the spindle nose as your Z Reference but based on the report that you attached, the Z Reference was never set. When you are in the Tool Offset library, press F1(Z Ref). Jog the Z axis until the spindle nose is at the desired location, typically the same location that you are using to measure your tools from. Then press F10(Set). Now all of the values in the height offset column for your tools will be in relation to the value in Z Ref.
Ok, for the spindle nose setting. I'll let my machine home to the Z-axis as described above, the DRO will Zero (0 Machine WCS). Now I would jog down with no tool and just my spindle nose to some surface; lets say the material top as in the picture in my previous post.I would save this setting simply by hitting F10 to set the Z reference.
Now would I need to adjust any of my current tool heights which were set off the machine and on a granite plate/height gauge and all positive values or can they be left as is shown in my report?
