Updated my Software-Spindle will not engage

Post by SonriseWoodcarving »

I just updated my controller and pendant software. (I run VCarvePro 11). When I run my Shark 520 everything seems to be working fine: The inverter is showing all blinking 0's; the LED's are reading steady green, blinking green, off, off, steady green; the pump is pumping; and the program is running properly; BUT the SPINDLE ISN'T SPINNING. I am flummoxed. :? I am not sure how to resolve this issue. The machine was running fine before I did the software update, so I figure that the problem must be related to the new programming, but I am not technically savvy and don't know where to begin to troubleshoot this sort of thing. Anybody out there able to help? Thanks in advance.

In the new upgrade - did you migrate

Is the post processor the same as in the previous version before the upgrade?

"I just updated my controller and pendant software." this sounds like a question for Nextwave support if it was a controller and pendant upgrade and not a Vectric software upgrade.
support@nextwavecnc.com or call us at 419-318-4822 9AM-5PM EST Mon-Fri.

I am also curious to what software you updated both units to, I do not see any new software on their website?
