Problem when Homing Z axis upon starting profile

1

Upon turning EX controller on and pendant, Z axis will only go up, even if trying to move it down towards the spoilboard (it goes up only). I had to manually trip the Z axis proximity sensor flag with a metal screwdriver, which seemed to resolve the issue where I could then start a homing procedure.

Prior to this happening (for the second time) the EX control and CNC12 was working fine. The first time it occurred it actually crashed into Z proximity sensor and hard stop, repeatedly several times and I had to E stop the machine.

I hope I have explained this well. If not please ask for clarification. Looking for a solution if anyone has ideas. Thanks!

After you home everything is fine?

Yes Eric, after homing it seems fine. I just find it strange I need to manually trip the Z limit switch with a piece of metal so I am able to jog the Z down to do a homing to begin with. Weird how it will only move upward.

Sounds like you have a setting reversed somehow. You should contact support about this and have someone go through your setup.
