Novamill (DenStep Card) June 2000
VR Milling v5.20
Upgraded to VR Milling v5.20, now the machine will randomly plunge the Z axis. Machine homes and jogs normally.
NovaMill loosing Z offset
Moderators: Martin, Steve, Mr Magoo
Older stepper motors prefer a slower feed rate.
The Z axis was stalling on the upstoke and loosing position, driving the Z deeper into the billet.
Reset the FEED rates in Machine Parameters to:
Max Rate X = 500
Max Rate Y = 500
Max Rate Z = 300
Max Contour Feed = 300
Jog Rapid Feed = 300
Machine is back to normal
