Are you sure you have the logic for the probe the right way round.

If you enter the following line in to MDI it should move 25mm/1" in X and stop if you do not touch the probe, do it again and touch the probe and it should stop

(for mm)
G91
G31 X25. F50.

(for inch)
G91
G31 X1. F2.

We need more to work on, some pictures of the vfd, settings and the inputs/outputs will help

Most 3D CAM systems can import a point cloud and smooth it out.

Is it 0-10 volt analogue or just on/off by relay?

Lathes use XZ plane which is G18 so swap G17 for G18 and try again.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Avid CNC tripping breakers?

Unplug everything in the control that you can, then start plunging back in one at a time and power up, it could be inrush from the system, you may need a type C breaker in the board, A and B are too sensitive on some CNC systems.

Double your accelaration time or halve the velocity and try that. if its ok keep adjusting the value by 10% intil you get problems then back it of 10%

General Mach Discussion / Re: Radius to end of arc differs from start

« on: November 20, 2020, 03:21:04 PM »

The code I posted was in Diameter mode so if you change Mach to diameter mode all should look good.

Are you using Radius mode for any special reason, most lathes are programmed Diameter.
