    Charmilles Roboform 30 C axis lack of reference

    Good Day!

    Is there anyone have roboform 30 and encountered C axis zero return problem?

    I am new to this EDM, first time to troubleshoot and analyze the problem.

    When we input command like : com> AREF the Y,Z,X axis are ok during auto reference checking but when C axis turn it proximity sensor trigger @ 181 degrees, rotation continue until 241 degrees and stop there, i think it should be stop at 360 degrees and zero the machine axis position. Now the electrode are angled even we already reset and load again the system nothing change.

    I don't want to mess up with the EDM if i check the electrical or sensor system or either the board inside it without knowing exactly what should i check first?

    We don't have any maintenance manual except for operating manual..

    any help from the expert and experience in EDM operation would be greatly appreciate!!!

    You do realize this is an 8 year old post and the member who started this topic hasn't posted since 2014? Doubt you'll get a response from that member.
