Hello Forum,
I have just setup my first machine and am having a problem I cannot figure out. The machine came with the computer loaded with Mach3 and Mastercam X. I created a basic block of wood with an extruded design in Solidworks and imported it into Mastercam X. The first problem I have is after loading the model into Mach3, it does not show it on the display, but lists the code. The second problem, is no matter what I try, the X Axis only moves up. I have reviewed the code and everything appears correct. It starts at 0.0 and does a retract of .25, and then starts machining up! The code plainly calls for a negative transition after the retract. Does this sound like a hardware or software problem? I swapped controllers with the same result. Any advice or info anyone could provide would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Wayne
