General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 stopped working
« on: March 23, 2010, 11:36:00 AM »
Hi my name is Philip and have a sign shop. Have been using Mach 3 for around three years running a router table.
It has been running great and then just stopped. I do believe it is the software side. I start the program and it sinks with the table.
Then I use the jog buttons for put in x, y values and hit the Z button nothing happens. When I do that the status bar flashes "Safe Z turned Off.
Ignoring Safe_Z Move". I'm not sure what this means or how to turn this on. I went to Config and some where I saw something that seem to pertain
to this so I switched it over and then the status bar did not read this but still worked. The DRO do not change when I try to jog.
If anyone has any idea.
Thanks
