General Mach Discussion / homing issues
« on: March 13, 2020, 12:23:50 PM »
I am running mach 3 connected to a machine with a Gecko g540. For limit switches I am using cnc router parts proximity swiches.
The machine has been up and running for about 18 months without any major issues. Homing and limit switches were working fine until about 3 weeks ago. At that time when I would home the machine the y axis would home properly but the x axis would move to the limit switch, trip the switch but not back off to a home position. I have checked the configuration and it has not changed.
Any idea what could cause this issue? I have an extra proximity switch that I could change out, but it seems that something changed elsewhere due to the fact that the limit switch will trip.
Thanks.
