When I try to run a program it stops and says Y travel exceeded. The move was 5.5" I have 6.5" of travel in that direction. When it stops and says exceeded it is nowhere near a limit switch. I probed the stock which was much larger than the move, and it had no issues. Thanks

Care to post the offending program and a couple of screenshots showing the error and line number in the code? Travel errors are usually caused by tool offsets being set incorrectly, or not accounted for.

Don't know. I rebooted and it worked. Glitch in the Matrix?

That depends. How do you home the machine? Are the machine coordinates and the work coordinates the same as when the error occurred?

Once you load a job, set part zero, and before you are ready to run the job, Press F8 GRAPH. You might get in the habit of doing this.
The control will run through your program and make sure it is within the bounds of the machine and its settings.
If there is a problem, it will tell you before you run the job.

In looking at your message log (F7 Utility, F9 Logs, F1 Errors)
The control was also telling you what tool and what line in the program it found an issue with:
(1) 02-04-2022 2:42:19 Tool change: T2
(4) 02-04-2022 2:42:26 907 Y axis travel exceeded, line 26

My hunch is you set your part zero incorrectly and there wasn't enough travel to cut the part

If you don't have it already, suggest you download and use Notepad++ and use it as your text editor. It puts line numbers in front of the G code lines, easier reference.
