Title: Cannot get past 'Machine out of limits for SoftLimits Activation.' message
Post by: cutit on June 05, 2020, 04:58:19 AM

Hi,
First time mach3 user. Just had my mill converted from the old Fanuc system to mach3. I've watched lots of videos on utube and tried to search this site for some clue on how to overcome the error message in the subject line of this post. The machine will home ok and will go to G54, G55 etc. assigned positions, but I've not so far been able to find a skerrick of useful information about how to set up the soft limits such that the error message doesn't display.

I would very much appreciate some help with this initial setup, I'm getting nowhere with mach3.

Thanks,
Rob
