General Mach Discussion / problem with my cnc lathe

« on: February 07, 2013, 02:09:59 PM »

hi all
this my first post , but have been a watcher for a few years trying to gain some knowledge
i have a denford starturn 4 cnc lathe that has been converted to run mach 3 while still using the steppers & driver cards . the machine has been running reasonably well until this afternoon when i tried to do a manual move with the arrow keys on the keyboard but nothing happened ,so i tried another keyboard but still no movement , i then tried the home x & home z and both axis moved to there home positions . has anybody got any ideas as to what has gone wrong it has got me baffled
