    Z softlimits

    The 403 Z soft limit over travel is just that, The program is try to set up a move out side the travel limits of the machine.
    The Partner 3 has about 6" of Z quill travel, so if you tell it to move outside that travel you get errors, it knows "you cant go there".
    1. look at at the G54 and G59 parameters and clear out any Z values. Then try again.
    2. If you still get 403 error check the Z axis parameters for the Z travels ie: +.100 and -6.0 or such. check the parameter listing that should be in the manual for the travel limits on your particular machine.
    3. Call Milltronics tech support. 952-442-1401
