We powered up our Advantis machine after leaving off for several months. When we powered it up went to zero it we get an error on the y1 axis during zeroing. Command move home: pattern step 0. The y negative limit is hit during homing, the axis then

We swapped the Y1 and Y2 pc800 controllers with no change. We swapped out the UIMC III-I cards from another machine with no change. VRM amps all look OK, no errors. The machine moves the head both in the x and y directions during the zeroing attemp

Since you haven't received any useful advise I will throw my 2 cents in. I do not know this machine but in general what you describe is an axis that does not get it's home pulse in time. Many machines will have an in-range sensor that gets flagged

I have a GSM1 that when try to zero it, it stops with the "Timeout waiting for spindle up" message. To get thsi up and running, I have set all my machine settings to default and had to reselect the head from a C4 1 head to the flex head. I initially
