General Mach Discussion / spindle shuts off right after start ("limit switch tripped")
« on: October 07, 2013, 02:41:13 AM »
Hi Everyone,
Im new to the forum and relatively new to mill setups. I recently purchased a used cnc router on the cheap and I have setup and calibrated everything but the spindle correctly. I have an older 3hp Komo spindle run through a Magnetech GPD 333 frequency contoller and an updated Precix controller and table. I am trying to setup proper commenication with spindle. Here is what happens when I start running code. The gantry begisn to move to position and the spindle begins to trun but then after about a half of a second the action halts and I get a "limit switch tripped" emergency shutoff.
I am sure it is a simple setting or fix, however, I am new to the setup protocol and language. I would be very grateful for any insight as to what might be the issue. Thank you for your time and I am excited to get in to exploring Mach3.
