General Mach Discussion / losing zero point
« on: April 18, 2010, 08:26:44 PM »
Hi all,
I'm new to mach 3 and am having a problem I can't seem to solve. I'm running R2.63 with a Taig DSLS 3000. I'm using a fairly long program and I find that after the machine runs for between 30 and 60 minutes, the z-axis will be significantly off. The zero point for this axis might be .050" (or more) higher than where it should be. I've tried resetting to zero many times and just can't seem to get the machine to remember where zero is. This machine is equipped with encoders that will cause mach to stop if something binds but there is NO binding. The software just seems to lose where it is for no reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
