Heeelp please. I’m a novice CNC’er in the UK who has not been able to carve anything yet on my Foreman Elite. After building the machine I had a X motor alarm which the support team gave advice which sorted the problem i.e. reset to factory settings. Now I’m getting a “Alarm Homing Error” afte…

We can look into a few things… One helpful step is to share a copy of the printable settings file - it will show all current settings. See here… https://docs.masso.com.au/wiring-and-setup/save-and-load-settings In the F1 screen are the homing sensor inputs all green/LOW, and do they turn red/HIGH …

Check the homing sensors, make sure there is nothing getting in the way. I had a problem where one of the sensor cables was constantly getting caught between the sensor, causing an alarm. A zip tie fixed my problem.

Hi Scott. Thanks for your email. I’ve checked all the homing sensors and they’re clear. I’ve given them a quick blow out just to be sure. Kind regards. Karl

Good afternoon. TMToronto. Many thanks for your helpful email, it’s very much appreciated. As you suggested, I’ve copied my machines current settings, although these are factory settings as a result of having to re-boot the machine due to the original X Drive Alarm problem, which, with the help of …

Could you attach a video of the problem occurring?

Hi Scott. Thanks for your email. I sent a video about 10 minutes ago of the problem. I take it you have not received it yet? I’ve sent the video via WeTransfer due to the size of the video. If you don’t receive it let me know and I’ll send it again. Kind regards Karl

I looked at the settings file. I don’t own this size machine, and use metric not imperial, but something seems a bit off. Motor: Distance per revolution: 0.196851 Drive: Pulses per revolution: 400.000000 Maximum Feedrate: 39.370101 Acceleration: 1.181103 Travel Minimum: 0.000000 Travel Maximum: 3…

Hi. Are you wanting me to reload the factory defaults again? The factory defaults were reloaded 3 days ago which cleared my original problem with the X drive alarm. Kind regards Karl

Are you getting red alarm lights on any of the motors? If so you might try switching the X and Y motors to rule out a bad motor.

Morning TMToronto. Many thanks for all your help and advice with regards the problem with my CNC. I’ve downloaded the factory settings again and reloaded the settings onto the controller and I now have a working CNC. I can now start to investigate it’s capabilities and start to carve. Thanks agai…
