General Mach Discussion / help needed

« on: December 01, 2016, 06:37:14 PM »

Hi...hope someone can help...I have a problem with my 3 axis cnc router...
anytime the z axis goes up,followed by a postive direction move in xy at the same time (angle)..xy stalls and loses position..if z is moved down any amount the problem goes away.

I actually made a workaround for rapid travel by moving z down a smidge before any other motion.....problem is now I am  doing some ramp in and out and I am losing position

if anyone could demo how to write a macro for cam bam or alike that would send z axis down from clearance ht every time it goes to rapid jog that would be very helpful...thanks
