Hello all,
New to CNC and Fadal world. My father has a small business, our CNC/Fadal guy was fired for theft. We are in the 'get by' phase until someone else is hired is the spring. So, I have been asked to help the family out. I know and understand very little about CNC.
Right now, we have 2 machines. Both Fadal VMC 15's.
Machine 1 is a 1989-90 model with a CNC 88 HS
Machine 2 is maybe a 1992-94ish machine with a CNC 88
Machine #2 will not "jog" home properly. Every time on startup it requests to be jogged home.
For some reason, we cannot get this resolved. Definitely the axis are off. This problem has occurred before but now nothing we do works. I am sure it is our ignorance and nothing defective on the Fadal.
Anyone have a best practices method of 'jogging' the Fadal home we could try?
Please be rudimentary and give me a baby's 1st Fadal type explanation.
Thanks
