Hi

I am hoping someone on here can help me with an issue.

My machine is running RDWorks V8

Two days ago it stopped homing the x axis on startup - Home is up and right. Instead it would go up and them crawl to the lefte for about 2 mins then speed to the left and crash into the end (opposite side to the proximity sensor).

I purchased a new sensor and installed it, this has got me to the current situation.

Old Sensor

Diagnostics - XLimit - : Showing Green no matter where the head is
When X Home Enabled - Laser Head - creeping to the left then speeding up and hitting left side.
Lamp 1 on Controller LmtX- : Always on
Steel Blade placed on top of sensor - LED on sensor Lights


New Sensor

Diagnostics - XLimit - : Does not light no matter where the head is
When X Home Enabled - Laser Head - move to right and hits side.
Lamp 1 on Controller LmtX- : Never lights
Steel Blade placed on top of sensor - LED on sensor Lights
X Value on display when head moved to home reads X:1000 Y:0

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Martin
