X axis started homing in the wrong direction
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2023 9:09 pm
I have an issue with the homing of the X axis. I am running CNC12 5.0 Beta Rev 0.
Today I crashed the mill hard when a 3/8" Carbide 3 flute dropped down further than it should (2D Contour, picked the wrong surface). Broke the end mill and rotated the Z axis out of perpendicular to the X axis.
I got the part out removed the shield from around the table. Started to re-tram the head. Could not move X axis, error message said that X zero not set.
De-energized the mill to re-start the Acorn board at which time the Z axis dropped (this has never happened to me before, but I will be installing a break on the Z axis).
Re-started CNC12 as well when went to home the machine Z axis homed, Y axis homed, but the X axis took off in the wrong direction.
Checked the Homing and configuration pages in the wizard and they seem okay.
I will check with the clearpath software in the morning.
Any suggestions? Should I re-install and setup CNC12 5.0? I am not sure were to look in the report or parameters.
