what type of control do you have- if it's fanuc, could be a parameter. i've had this issue before and thats all it was.
We are having trouble with our Hurco Mill. When we power up and try to reference the axis, the machine will reference the Z and Y axis but then throws up an error on the X axis Encoder fault. I swapped the encoder with the Z and Y
encoders and it still threw up the error I have also had the X Axis cables replaced that didnt work. Hurco Tech Support has been awful now I'm stuck the only other thing I can add is on the X axis circuit board there is a little led window that shows the number 1 code I'm not sure what this means.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Andy

it's an ultimax control
Sorry, don't know this control, but it could be same issue, there's a parameter which might need tweeked, i would ask your ultimax guy, could save you alot of grief!
It sounds like a mechanical problem. Check the bearings on the ballscrew. On our old bmc 20 coolant gets in and causes problems.
