Hello,
I've just blown the dust off an old MaxNC OL, I've installed Mach 3 and tuned the motors to have full functionality on the x, y, and z axis. I can load a sample program and it seems to run fine, however, I stop it before the machine crashes.
My question is how do I setup my workspace / table size / and set a home (to center the table) in mach 3? This machine doesn't have limit switches and I can't have it crashing.
It appears that the machines extents are as follows:
12" in the X
7" in the Y
9" in the Z
I was thinking that my soft max X would be 12", my soft max Y would be 7", and my soft max Z would be 0 with a soft min of -9"
Can anyone let me know if I'm going in the right direction or reading into this completely wrong. Thanks
