Z axis does what it wants...
Posted: Wed Mar 20, 2024 4:43 am
Hello friends,
Yesterday my milling machine (BZT PF 1000 P, 4 axes, NPN tool length sensor, Eding-CNC, Interface Advanced Pro + adapter board) ran perfectly. Today I wanted to mill something and the Z axis is really annoying me!
1.) PC, control and program started.
2.) Reference travel started.
3.) ERROR: the Z axis suddenly moves in the wrong direction (Z+).
I ended the program, switched the control off and on again, restarted the program and tried to move Z manually using the JOG buttons:
No matter whether I press Z+ or Z-, the Z axis moves towards Z- (reference switch). As soon as the reference switch is (mechanically) touched and triggered, the stepper motor rattles back and forth, that is, it turns a few mm to the left and then immediately to the right again and this continuously.
My settings in Eding-CNC see photos
I search like crazy all morning, but can't find the error. Do any of you have an idea or a similar experience?
