Z axis its not coming back up to 0 while cutting stars.


John McGovern
 

? ? ? ? ?I'm cutting unions for flags. I noticed that my Z axis was not coming all the way up from neg. Z. Is there a setting in Mach3 that would tell the machine to do this? I've checked my steps on the machine and they are right on. I dont have a clue why it started doing this. This is what I have a windows 10 machine, I use mach 3. I have a custom built 5ftx5ft machine. Any help would much appreciated. Thanks

Are you running?with Constant Velocity enabled, G64 mode? Doing so will result in X and Y starting to move before Z is fully retracted as the motion planner does blending of the moves to avoid slowing down. Try running in Exact Stop using G61 mode.

Hi John,
it may be that the acceleration for the Z axis is set too high. This results in lost steps when the Z axis rapids upwards.
Try reducing the Z axis acceleration by 25% and see if that helps.?

?Cheers?
Peter


 

After re-reading of the problem, Steve’s suggestion seems more applicable in this case.?


 

there's a min Z above zero setting for moves (there's a little icon graphic denoting that min Z)
