Thanks for the inputs. This problem has got me banging my head on my desk. I wish I could afford a Fanuc control, and a better machine to put it on for that matter. As for the Z and Y axis being transposed, I don't think this is the case. I'm using Mach2 turn. When you set up your motors you tell it the step and dir pins from the parallel connection. I have done this and disabled the Y axis. The X and Z axis are behaving well in every respect except in arc movements. Mach2 turn is in G18. This is set in a screen called state where you set the active plane (X Z in this case). Mach2 turn also has an option where you can set arc movements in absolute or incremental. I have tried both of these with the same results. I tried posting this question in the Mach1 Mach2 message group on Yahoo, but got no answers at all. I was curious if anyone else has seen this problem using the Mach2 controller software. |
