Need Help!- Bridgeport S1 1 CNC w/ BOSS 5 controls: Canned Drill Cycle x-axis Rapid Travel ISSUE

[TBCind]

Hello Everyone,

Machine: Bridgeport series 1 CNC with BOSS 5 controls.

Question: Why does this happen, and what is the cure?

Problem: The problem is that when I run a canned drill cycle, the x axis goes into rapid travel and will run out to the end of the axis. I stop it from crashing by hitting the hold button. I think this problem is inherent to the system, because it was mentioned by someone who had a couple of these machines.

The machine was originally a tape drive. I bought a rs 232 serial kit and had the machine connected to my computer. I program using notepad.

If anyone know how to correct for this problem I would greatly appreciate instructions to resolve the issue.

Thank you very much and have a great day!

Best,
Andy

I have been fixing these machines since 1982 and have not seen a machine do this is programmed correctly.
