Have you got Min and Max pulley speed set in pulley 1?

Is it only the sensor on the turret that is not working, are all the axis moving as they should?

How big is the PSU (Watts/Amps) for the 5V

Have you got a common ground between the PC, ESS, and Machine?  if not you may be getting spurious signals

Looking at the code the old programs have no tool or offsets active so my guess is that if you check the tool offset for tool 1 and set it to zero all will be well.

Or you could remove the T1 M6 at line 120 and the G43 H1 from line 140 in the new program.

Why is it only tapered at one side?

The file extension is not a problem, mach3 will read TAP,TXT,NC,CNC and any other text based file and it has no bearing on how it is interpreted.

The only code you list that can move the z axis is G49 but it would have to have a G43 and a H to make it move.

It might be good to post the first 20 lines of each program just to be sure.

Some code may be needed to check the movement and also some pictures of the setup including the breakout board etc.

Half your velocity and double you acceleration and see if it looses position.

Is fusion using fast feeds or rapids, we have seen fast feeds cause problems before.

I would compare it with the old programs you have.

The only thing I do not see is a G54 or G55 etc to set the fixture offset but you may be using G53

Mach3 uses a Cypress version of VB and has a reduced instruction set so the best you have is the trig commands are :-

Exp, Log, Sqr, Rnd, Abs, Sgn, Atn, Cos, Sin, Tan, Int, Fix

The manual is on the forum if you search for it :-  VBScript_Commands.pdf
