Thanks for the updates... I installed the new version. The simulation worked perfect, I had my V-carve tool set as tool # 10. Looks like this solved the problem.

Thanks Guys

Re: No movement in the Z axis

There was no resistance when we checked the orange and black wires. The orange wire goes into the motor and the black goes to the break. So I am pretty sure ithe problem is with the orange or the motor. I have attached a pic.

Re: No movement in the Z axis

There is no resistance on the black to orange. I am guessing that means one of these wires is broke.

Re: No movement in the Z axis

When I had the brake removed and tried to jog it ... the Z made some erratic moves….so at least it moved.

I assume this means that it is not the brake and that it is faulty wiring or a bad motor. Is that correct?

Re: No movement in the Z axis

The brake is now removed. We are going to test the Z axis to se if it works without the brake.

Then he is going to use a ohm meter to check for an open curcuit.

If we narrow it down to the motor what information do we need to order a new motor?

Re: No movement in the Z axis

We switched the X and the Z and still did not work. We are going to try the break and see what happens.

Clean around the switch

I have had the same problem on 2 Compact 1000's - both less that 3 month old. I checked all the wires on the back of the control pot and jiggled them around. This worked on both machines. The contacts must vibrate close together during machining.
