Axis Travel Distance

Post by customcnc »

Hello, is there anyone that can tell me where you can set the minimum/maximum travel distances of the z axis. I think this is affecting my cut depth. Any help would sure be aprreciated. I am using a fully licensed version of Mach2. Thanks

Hello,
I believe you will find these settings can be input in Mach under 'Config', 'Homing/Limits', then you should see a table with the various axis and the 'soft limits' for each axis. Set the soft minimum and soft maximum according to the travel each of your axis has.
Best regards,

Maybe you need to set the resolution of your stepper??

If you tell it to move an inch and it doesn't that is your problem.

Maybe this helped?
