OMNI 1325 - The Spindle wont go to the bed height

We have been using this machine for around 12 months and it has been fine, however i cannot get the Z access down to the bed.

1) I home the device on start up
2) I move the X & Y axis to where i want to set my origin
3) I move the Z AXIS to the bed (This is where the problem starts) it gets to around 500mm from the bed and will not descend any further.

I have contacted OMNI Support and after 3 days received a two word response, read this, along with a copy of the badly translated manual we already have and have been through.

The only other information is they say we should open the spindle cylinder to move down... Now i dont have a clue what that cryptic message means and nothing in their manual seems to match it!

Does anybody on here have any ideas what the problem might be.

I have not bought any more machines from this company because their support is legendarily poor so sadly i need to ask the community.

Does it stop in the same place each time ? Have you got a tool z length offset active or a workpiece zero position set ? Perhaps the control "sees" a tool is still in the spindle due to tool clamp/unclamp signals incorrect ? Or simply a workpiece offset or soft limit parameter is corrupt or changed ?
You need to remove the tool and try a few things.

Hello Sir,

Sorry for late response from after sales engineer. He just recovered from COVID 19.

Can you post a photo of your machine, mostly the Z axis, and what control are you using
