Hello all. We just took delivery of the new Router 2600 for F1 in Schools. I can't work out how to get the tool to physically move to the 000 point I'm trying to set. The instructions for setting the datum tell me to touch the tool onto the left hand side of the billet and then set parameters in the software. All good except for the 'touching the tool' part.
I can hear the servos going and there are reassuring clicking noises as though it *wants* to move. I can also get the spindle to turn, the door locks and unlocks and so on.
I'm starting to think there may be some last bit of packaging in place which I can't see, or just some very obvious button I haven't spotted.
Any help please?
Did you manage to solve this issue? i am currently having the same problem.

Does the machine move to the home position when you first connect it?
Go to the help menu and select the tutorial to cut a part with a single tool.
This will take you through how to set up the machine and move the axes to the datum position.

Having the same issue i am currently connected to the "real machine" but it will not home or Jog. When I press home all axis the z coordinates change on the screen but the machine does not move(times out after 55 seconds). also when I press the jog function to move them manually the x,y and z readings change but the physical milling cutter does not.
I've had that happen a few times and generally disconnecting from the machine, turning everything off for a while and restarting has sorted it out.
Denford guys are great on the phone though so I would suggest calling up and asking for technical support.

I would check that all the fuses are OK.
Possibly you dont have the Axis motor power.
