Thanks, I do recall reading about loading firmware onto some of the VME cards (VRM axis controllers I believe.) I will review this again. I agree that it seems to be some issue with reading axis position after hitting the home switch. The first thin

If you want to be able to put down every type of part, and fast, you better look at buying two machines. You did not say how much speed you need but in-line spindle machines rely on gang picks to be able to come anywhere close to rated speed. I have
