Mach4 General Discussion / My tool runs off
« on: October 12, 2020, 08:02:52 PM »
Sometimes my tool will appear to run off in a random direction. The actual tool path on screen shows that the tool left the programed path. This happens even when no one touches the controls and is a program I have run a dozen or more times. It just seems to happen at random intervals. Its almost like a software bug. It happens rare enough that it hasn't been a major issue but it just ruined a good drill and part that was 1/2 way done. Now I'm irritated. I have a home modified mini mill converted with Automation Technologies electronics, a UC100 motion controller, and Mach4 software. Any ideas?
