I've got a Camsoft control on a vertical mill with a turret type tool changer. During a tool change the control ignores the turret position limit switches and just keeps spinning. All of the limit switches properly light up the input switches in the panel. The switches were my first guess but it is not going to be that easy.
Now heres the really weird part. After about one minute the Camsoft software just stops and disappears leaving the Windows desktop. The motion control card is left endlessly spinning the turret. All of this started when an employee was doing maintenance on the turret lock and ran the z axis into a piece of wood. I put the wood there just in case. Nothing was mechanically harmed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
