Sorry to intrude, tested with the spindle encoder, maybe this this fails with a wrong orientation. I guess I tried these things but sometimes the simplest things we do not see.

We had a Bridgeport Interact 412 with that same controller and drive. We had problems with spindle orientation from time to time and had to adjust the 3 pots that George refered to. Our maintenance manual showed this process but I can 't find the manual. I will try to locate it. We also had an orientation problem when we first powered the machine on in the mornings. It would orientate to the correct position and then the spindle would jump in and out of position. We would power down and back up and problem would go away.

Thank You for all the help !!

I have tried many times adjusting the pots on the Spindle orientation board with no luck. The spindle seems to time out and stop at random locations.
I replaced the Spindle orientation board and tried adjusting again....Still does the same thing so I bought a new spindle encoder ....still no luck.
Is there something else i am missing ?

Thanks

Our 412 had four green LED lights. One was labeled orientation. It would light steady when the voltage adjustment for spindle orientation was correct.
