Bill set your min for X and Y to 0.
You have it set to 1 so every time your axis moves below 1 (in machine coords) you hit the softlimit.
Remember that the zero that Mach sets, as its machine coordinate, is after the switch has closed, thus setting a 0 for your softlimit min should never activate the physical switch. You can test this out by doing a rapid move towards your min limit, if Mach cant slow quick enough you need to set up a bigger slow zone, how much depends on lots of factors, motor tuning being a major one.
