I have a Bridgeport series I cnc boss with 18 x 12 table. Software is Ajax M series v8.21
Ajax cnc7 controls. I am having a couple problems with getting the table to do what I want. The first problem is “find Home” X minus is selected, however the spindle/table travels in a “+” (plus) motion when “-“(minus) is selected. The x motor and table motion feel like they are fighting – not smooth travel. I checked the parameters, all looked fine.
Machine has a limit switch located at front/left for x and front/front for y. looking at the Jog parameters. This is what the installer had plugged in.
Travel (-) x: 0; y: 0; z:-4.800.
Travel (+) x: 16.000; y: 11.000; z: 0.100.
These are the Motor Parameters limit/home values were plugged in.
Limit x-: 0; y- : 0; z-: 12.
Limit x+: 0; y+: 0; z+: 0.
Home x-: 8; y- : 10; z-: 12.
Home x+: 0; y+: 0; z+: 11.
I read the Operators manual, Chapter 3-6. F1 - Travel Limits and Reference Return Points and Chapter 15.7 about limits and home switches. I tried different values for the motor parameters of x and y. z is fine, it finds home and hits the soft limit.
Does anyone have any experience with these problems.
