I am new to this forum, but I was wondering whether anyone had experience with a Milltronics Partner IV with Centurion V control. I bought the mill about a week ago in 'running' condition and am trying to get it going.
It seems to do a different thing each time I start it up. When I first turned it on it did not want to home in any direction. So I opened up the covers and manually adjusted pulleys to move the quill and table to a neutral middle possition. This made it so that the quill (Z axis) would home. Then I eventually managed to get it to home in all three Z, Y and X. But now it seems to move about 1/2 inch and then trips out in the X direction. I have tried it over and over and can't get it to repeat the home operation.
The one time that I managed to get it to home successfully it seemed to work fine. I can run programs jog the table and do most any operation with no problem but the sticking point is getting it to home.
Does any body have any idea what could be causing this? It seems to be a temperamental problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
