Mach4 General Discussion / Z zero randomly changes on its own
« on: February 27, 2020, 07:00:13 AM »
I have been using mach 4 for 2 months now. It has worked fine until this week. Now my z zero will change when I hit cycle start.
I always home my machine as soon as I turn it on. Then I load a program, then use my auto touch plate and set zero. It sets it at 1.9994. Now it has randomly been setting it as -5. Something. So I thought it had a problem. I started setting zero manually but now when I hit cycle start, it will sometimes change the z zero to the -5 and give me a soft limit error.
The only changes that I have made to mach 4 are adjusting the steps per unit, velocity and acceleration.
I have checked my travel in all directions and it travels the correct distance in every direction.
Watch the video and let me know what you think the fix is.
New fangled suggested that I come here for answers.
