Title: Y-axis HOME is wrong and Delta Controller Reset
Post by: landmark on September 22, 2016, 03:37:22 PM
Hello

Recently our CNC Router crashed during a tool change.
Since then the Y-axis home is out by about 24 inches.
That is; when we turn on the machine and run the HOME command for X, Y, Z....the X and Z return to their original correct HOME position but the Y homes 24 inches away from where it should be.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on how to reset/fix the Y-axis HOME back to its original location?

I've read some suggestions that say to reset the Y-axis controller...but I have no idea how to do that.
The controller is a Delta - Model: ASD-A0721-AB
Inside the case is another larger box by Delta: VFD-VE FOC Control - Model: VFD110V23A-2

The controller is made by Syntec but most of the components inside are by Delta as are our X, Y, Z servo motors.

Is it possible that resetting the Absolute coordinates to 0,0,0 would work?

Again, if anyone know how to fix or reset this error I'd really REALLY appreciate it.


Thanks
RKG

In case anyone runs into the same problem...we think we've solved it.

It was a faulty cable. The cable was faulting right where the machine "thought" it was at zero.
When it faulted it would tell the sensor it had been tripped.
