Hi folks first post here,

I purchased a Camsoft CNC lite /plus system and retrofitted it onto an OKK MCV500 vertical machining center ( using the existing Mitsubishi drives and motors )
For the most part it works OK ( yes just OK ) but not dramatically better than the two and a half decade old control it replaced ( a Meldas 5000c with a Dostek BTR ) for one thing servo stability is a big problem ( unless i edit the programs to use a G10 and G11G00 command they won't run )

I can work around all this if I have to ( and eventually I hope to not have to ) but a major problem with the functionality of this system is the handwheel

if I use the handwheel function to touch off on a part or to indicate an edge and then try to run a program the program will start but the spindle will not ( note that jogging the axes around does not cause this problem )

the only way I have found to fix this problem is to shutdown and re start the control which at least to me is a major PITA
does anybody out there know what's up?
logic problem?
I looked through all the literature that was sent with the software and hardware and came up with nothing
thanks in advance, Ben
