General Mach Discussion / Question about referencing
« on: January 11, 2006, 12:51:43 AM »
I've had a problem with referencing the X-axis that I can’t solve. Z and Y reference normally but when it gets to X, it will move anywhere from a ¼ inch to 1 ½ in and stop. No reference LED lit on the Diagnostic screen and no error message. The DRO shows the distance it has moved. It doesn’t matter if the reference (home position is 2 inches or 20 inches away, it moves it’s short distance and stops. Once it is close enough to the home switch (within the 1/4 to 1 ½ inch range) it homes normally. The homing speed is set at 50%. The only workaround I have is to jog the X-axis after it references the Z and Y until the X is close to the home position, then reference it again.
There got to be something simple I’m overlooking, but I can’t find it
