torch z travel doesnt stop

Post by ggeh »

torch travels down and makes contact with table and contuse to try and go down. I have to manually hit the stop button in mach3 and then start and then it travels back to cutting height. this just started and I have no idea how to trouble shoot this. any thoughts on where or what to do? Thanks Gary

Pull the wire off the Ohmic sencer and touch it to the work, should light up board, card, probably a spot on the diagnostic page when contact is made.
Check that the work is grounded.
