I have been searching the archives and have a question that I cannot find an answer to.
A little history on the machine. I picked it up for a fixture and a program from outside a shop in SA. The previous owner informed me it ran when they disconnected it. One of his employees also assured me of this.
I have hooked up my 1984 Series 1 CNC with a Boss 8 control to a 7.5 HP Rotary phase converter. I have hooked air up (85psi)to it. I have way oil in it. All of the limit switches are free from obstruction. When it comes up, it has an axis limit error. Normally, I should see home axis. I cannot move any of the axises. I don't think the drives are actually on. When I push the enable axis push button, it turns from red to green like it should. Still no movement. Is there a way I can override the machine in limit to move it? Is there a secret two button combo that I can make the machine move with.
Thanks in advance for any help.
