General Mach Discussion / auto Z setter adjusting

« on: June 20, 2010, 05:55:45 AM »

I have noticed that auto z setting is not accurate on our router.  In the near future plans are to to do some engraving so z tolerance. will be very important.  How do I go about correcting this.  Is there a setting that can be adjusted in the program and if so where is it.  We now use a .125 plate and it seems to be off about .0100.  This hasn't been a problem since any work we did was not critical on the Z. Any help would be a blessing, thanks in advance.

General Mach Discussion / help with settings

« on: May 29, 2010, 05:33:14 AM »

I'm having a problem with zeroing out the machine.  I'm using mach3 to run a cnc router (ezrouter 5x10.  After returning froma short vacation it seems that one of the new operators on the machine may have changed some settings in the mach3 program we are unable to home the machine. when x axis reaches its limit switch the machine keeps trying to continue making a helava lot of jumping noises.   I dont know what settings need changed to correct the problem.  My guess is that either settings were changed or a parallel cable is bad and a signal isn't being sent back to the computer.  From what I understand the software has been reloaded and an original copy of the xtml doc. has been copied to the folder.  Additionally the computer has been changed just a few weeks ago so any history is gone.

My next step is to change the cables between the computer and router but believe me I'm guessing from now on ==  Any help would really be a blessing.
