My controller is the first one you mentioned with the 10" screen ans flat key board.
I have not had an opportunity let to try it with the dip switches in bypass, but that is a great tip and I will try it as soon as I can get back in the shop.
Idid however check the parameters 14 and 15. They were set at 40 & 10 and I hadn't realized I could change them. I was turning down the feedrate overide and had it set at 43% to get it to run without any errors.
I guess that means I was actually operating at about 17 and 4.5 hich is still the upper end of what was recommended by AjaxCNC on the slow probing rate. I will reset it to 30 and 3 like he recommended and see what that does at 100% feed rate.
So am I to understand as the machine learns the proximity of the probe to the work piece it runs at high speed until it gets close and then slows to the slow probe rate before it touched?
If I do added the parameter 10 value it will continue to slow to a stop as it touches? Is that correct?
Thanks again for the help. I will let you know what I learn.
