Hello,
I have posted in the Wincnc area already but maybe you can help me?
I have a 2006 ShopSabre with low hours. I am running servos and love the machine and have no complaints with the support from ShopSabre. However I have a serious problem with the z axis, it randomly likes to crash into the spoil board. I have re-set the g37 tool touch switch spoilboard setting several times useing the instructions that came with the switch and also a slightly different method that the ShopSabre tech uses. In both cases the machine would work for a short while then the bug returns. The z soft limits will not work after the bugs return they think absolute zero is about 5" to 7" above the spoil board. The whole z axis is so unstable that the machine is unusable unless I want to risk wrecking the spindle and or whatever is being worked on. Twice in the last two weeks I have had to hit the abort as the z bugged out and crashed, once into the spoil board and once into a project.
Does anybody know of a cure other then switching controllers.
Thanks,
