Ok so I checked what you told me and it says the software is estopped. Now how can I rest the software? I also still have the same problem of the z axis readout saying it is minus when it should read...

Thanks for the reply. I have tried holding the reset button but unfortunately no luck lowering the z axis yet. I agree that it is probably on the limit switch. I will try and look at the screen you...

Hello
I have a 98 vm17 and the z axis readout is off. When it’s in home position it reads minus instead of plus. I changed the z axis motor thinking that the encoder was messed up but still have the...

Okay. Thanks for the tip brian. Will check them out.

Hello everyone
So I finally got my vm17 up and running. Everything seems to work so far. My question is that I have a Renishaw mp10 probe that I got with a bunch of stuff at an auction. Can I use...

Update on the machine. I switched the x and y axis cables around and got all 3 green lights. Shut machine and swapped them back and still have all 3 green lights and it homes like it should now. My...

Okay so from ground to each leg is 128.0 and from leg to leg it’s 221.2 hertz are exactly 60. I still have a red alarm light on the y axis servo. I took some pictures I will try and send to see if...

Oh I didn’t know that. I will try that too. Thanks

That could be it? I checked it when I hooked it up and I think it was reading 216 volts? Should be 220. I will recheck it tonight and let you know.

Yes there is a red alarm light on the y servo drive. The controller shows a 449 code I believe?. I didn’t think to look at what I would call the main vfd? Would it show anything on there?

Thanks for the link. I ordered one from milltronics but haven’t received it yet. The switch was sw00087 I think? I really need 2 but they were so expensive I only got one for now. $120 for one switch...

Hello.
So I got a chance to look at the machine tonight and after messing around with the z axis limit switch I still couldn’t get it to do anything. I moved the y axis both ways and then I hit the...

Okay thanks. I will try and look tonight when I get home. The machine worked when I bought it but I had him lower the z axis for shipping and being able to get it in the garage. He did lower it under...

Thanks for the help fella’s. I didn’t get a chance to look at it today. I think there limit switches? At least the upper one is I’m pretty sure? I haven’t been able to locate the lower one yet. Got...

Thanks for the reply brian. I tried that yesterday and nothing happens at all. I wonder if my reset button could be bad? I wish there was a way I could raise it manually but I don’t see anyway to do...

Hello everyone
I finally got my vm 17 wired up and put power to it. I think the z axis is on the limit switch? When I try to do anything the machine says one of the limit switches is on? I can move...

Okay I will check that out. Thanks for your help.
