I am having an issue with Mach3 on my home-built CNC. My machine working area is X – 100 inches by Y – 54 inches by X – 12 inches. With my soft limits on and I try and run a program that exceeds the machine coordinates of X > 73.6 inches it says, “Soft Limit Exceeded” and the machine hard stops. My Soft Limit on the X Axis is set to 100 inches and I can shuttle it to 100 inches. I can turn off soft limits and run any program over X > 73.6 without an issue.
I have recreated the XML configuration for my machine three times to see if it was something I had done. Several times with just the most basic settings and the issue persists. I have even opened a case with ArtSoft and all they said was to reinstall the software, which I did on two different PCs and still not working. I would like to resolve this issue as it would make running the machine more convenient and safer.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
