I have a permanent set up for 12 inch round signs on my 5 pro. Today was setting up to do a 12 inch project (I’ve done dozens on this table location) and received “Project will hit the right of the machine (X+). (The program zero is 6.9mm too far right).”
Reprogrammed project and reinitialized machine and it repeated same message. Started the program and bit tried to enter part from the right side of the project which is opposite of the actual program.
Have not had any issues with the machine or control until this. Could not find any previous topics about this. Need some guidance.
I moved the x axis zero to the left 1 inch and message went away so the 6.9mm warning was real to the controller. Don’t feel comfortable thinking the controller wants me to move a permanent setup - I mean I can, but I won’t know why things changed.
Instead of measuring from the right rail, measure from the center of the tool with the X axis at it’s plus (right) limit. Or just click on the word “Position” to change it to “Machine Position”, and check the X value of your zero point.
It looks like the highest X value in the file is X12.104
Folks, I discovered my mistake. My original zero was center of this fixture. The new program was set up with center at lower left of project. I zeroed the fixture like always and threw everything off by about 6 inches.
Sorry for the rookie mistake and thanks for the attempt to help.
