If you receive the following error message:
This means there is an issue with the distance between the index pulse and the home switch.
Your message will be similar, with numbers and axes labels changed.
You may read more on Index pulses here. This link is not critical to fixing this problem.
To solve this problem:
- Lock out power from the machine
- Disconnect the connection between the motor and the ball screw (Remove the belt or Disconnect the shaft coupling).
- Spin the motor 1/2 turn and reconnect the motor to the ball screw (Belt or shaft Coupling).
This will increase the distance between the limit switch and the first found index pulse, eliminating the error.
Critical Note: * Performing this procedure will shift the home position, resulting in the NEED to re learn Tool stand locations and any Stored Offsets.
