I was just wondering whether anyone out there could help me with an issue? We currently have a sign strong 1318ds CNC machine, purchased from China. I believe it is quite an old machine. The issue we are having is that it will not home. It is moving in the x and y directions, and the z to an extent, but once it hits its z maximum, the controller does not recognise this, and the dial keeps going up. If I try to set the origin, we get an error message, 'some axis of the coord not set zero, can not go to origin'.

All the alarm lights inside of the box are green, so we are led to believe it is a programming issue.

Sorry if this is a basic question but we are all new to this. If someone has a copy of an English user manual that they wouldn't mind sharing with us, that would be great. If not, I look forward to hearing your responses.

Thanks, in advance.

Jamie
