Hi Folks,
Hoping for a little direction. We just recently updated our ecabinets software which made us finally update the control software. We had not been in a hurry since everything was working good.
After doing so everything seems to work fine except:
The auto tool measure program does not function properly anymore. The spindle moves to the correct x,Y position over the sensor and then instead of incrementally moving downward it incrementally moves upward until going out of limit and stopping.
Any ideas? What happen to my auto tool measure program?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Auto tool measure problem after updating control
It sounds like your sensor needs to be cleaned. You can take the sensor apart and clean any saw dust out of it y removing the 3 screws that holds the top pad on. Having the router move upwards instead of downwards is what usually happens when the sensor gets dirty and no longer has a closed contact inside.

You are right sir! It was the sensor.
The timing of the problem and the update blinded me to the obvious. Thanks!
