I’m new to 1f. I moved up from a small Shark cnc. I just received my journeyman pro. I was able to set and run a leveling and imprint on spoil board without an issue. Then ran several small projects with success. My next project was a large cut(24X48) It will start to run then stop moving and shows this error message.
I have read as much as I can find but I’m still not able to to get it to figure out what I need to correct. Here’s what I’ve tried.
checked Toolpath
reloaded toolpath
Rebooted several times
Moved away from homed location
Rehomed
Probe XYZ
One question I do have at this point is what does the ‘Absolute’ mean on control screen and where does this come from. Is that the problem?
I have no idea what or where to do next so I can resolve this
Ok - So this error is all about the z axis (bit not being in the correct height) not the x axis?
I had read that entry but it seemed to me about z axis. So if I adjust the z axis this will allow me to complete the crave? I’m working on a sheet of plywood 24X48 which is within the surface cut area.
look, the total workarea width of the machine here according to the error message is 816 mm, which means X can move from 0 to 816 mm (0 to 32.124 in). Now your g-code program tries to move to a position at 997.522 mm (39.0871 in), which is no position that the set maximum limit of this machine allows. The machine’s maximum X limit is smaller than this.
Usually this error is an error with a wrong positioning of the workpiece zero coordinate. First, your workpiece zero coordinate must be located on the same position on your virtual 3D model as on the real workpiece blank: If it’s on the top left corner of the virtual 3D model, you got to probe it on the top left corner of the blank. If the workpiece zero coordinate is on the bottom of the virtual 3D model, it has to be probed on the machine bed (by reversing the XYZ touch plate). The probing step is what positions your workpiece zero coordinate.
You can see and understand the error message: It is at a command of G0 X39.0871 Y21.9242 that it tries to move to the outside of the machine’s workarea size, this means, move rapidly (G0) to the workpiece coordinate X=39.0871 in, Y=21.9242. This means X=992.81234 mm, Y=556.87468 mm. So if the machine has only 816 mm X width, it means this number is too big.
Note that a Journeyman should have a workarea of 1220 x 816 mm. Could it be that you have the wrong machine set?
See ADMIN page, choose “General” > Configuration > Reset and choose the correct machine.
