My question for people with a similir machine combintaion. When you first start the machine up and home all axis's, does it start with the V-axis? I'm just wondering if mine, is my machine is not receiving a signal back from the bar feed to say it has moved.. So it continues to push
I can not get past this point to home any of the other axis's on the machine,
Any help would be appreciated.
The V-axis is not seeing its home switch (proximity or mechanical limit switch).
Or the signal is not getting back to the control, so it keeps “searching” for home, thinking it’s not there yet.
