    Red face Home problem

    I use CamSoft software to build 2 axis CNC lathe machine. I have home problem. Although I drive home position, motors have no any movement. But , after press spindle drive CW buttom, when I press the home buttom, home routine is working. I want to get CNC setting file or .CBK file for 2 axis CNC Lathe Machine. Very welcome teach me and any suggestion
    With my respect,
    Mr. Kyaw

    I understand you to have two questions:
    You press a button to command machine to move home and you get no response. But it works later.

    For this, I suggest you go to the diagnostic page and press the "Why am I not moving" button in the lower right corner of the window.
    I am assuming you have the machine jogging, limit switches working, spindle turns on/off

    Your second question is for a default .cbk for your machine. The software comes with several to choose from. I suggest you load all the lathe ones in demo mode and get a feel for the features each one has to offer. Then choose the one with the closest fit to your needs. And you can easily import features you like in the other .cbk files

    Question CamSoft home problem

    thank you for your help , and any suggestion and guideline
    My PC based CNC is for 2 axis Lathe only
    Although press F12 (home fine buttom), no any movement. After that, open the diagnosis and I press "the why no motion button", it shows like that

    In IPR mode and spindle is not runing
    Feedrate is too slow
    Motor 1: Has not reached last command position yet, waring
    Motot 2: Has not reached last command position yet, waring
    Test Completed
    Report written to C:\AS3000\CNC\logfile.fil


    my home routine like that

    :HOMEXY
    STOP
    MACHZERO 0;0;0
    \1=0
    \2=0
    IF#1=0THENIF#2=0THENGOTO :HOMED
    IF#1=1THEN\1=-100
    IF#2=1THEN\2=-100
    f=50
    SUSPEND BYPASS
    MACHGO \1;\2
    :LOOP
    IF\1<0THENIF#1=0THENSTOP:GOTO :HOMEXY
    IF\2<0THENIF#2=0THENSTOP:GOTO :HOMEXY
    GOTO :LOOP
    :HOMED 'for more accuracy backoff home switch slowly until states change off
    STOP
    MACHZERO 0;0
    f=10 ' FIND HOME SWITCH OFF ON Z AXIS
    SUSPEND BYPASS
    MACHGO 10;0;0
    WAITUNTIL #1=1:STOP
    MACHZERO 0;0
    f=10 ' FIND HOME SWITCH OFF ON X AXIS
    SUSPEND BYPASS
    MACHGO 0;10;0

    The first line tells you exactly the problem. You need to be in IPM mode to home and then change back for running.
