General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem with "Ref All Home"

« on: June 20, 2018, 10:47:24 AM »

Intermittently but more frequently when I turn the Superbox on, the lights don't come on, on the front panel. Using the jog dial I can't get anything to move. So I'm assuming no signals are being sent/received. If I turn the box on and off, take the cables out and put them back and do that enough times, the lights come on and I again have control.

Sorry for being so ignorant!

General Mach Discussion / Problem with "Ref All Home"

« on: June 20, 2018, 10:27:32 AM »

Hi All,

I have a CNC machine from Marchant Dice or World Of CNC. By and large it has been trouble free for the last few years but in the last few weeks the control box has been acting up and today when I click "ref all home" the Z-axis moves to its limit, the switch is fired (red light comes on), but it then reverses direction and travels downwards making a funny noise. Please see the youtube video for a demonstration!

I've cleaned off the homing switches and fiddles with cables, switched things off and on - basically done everything I can. Please help!!
