New to me Topwell 5avk milling machine with Anilam 3000 control, 1998 machine.
I am completely new to CNC and have never made a cut with a cnc machine other than my CNC torch table.
I just hooked it up and got everything working and I noticed the X and Y moved opposite to the control spec.
The Z axis worked correctly and the spindle turned in the correct direction.
Machine powered up and homed properly.
I looked in the manual and it seemed simple to change the encoder settings to reverse the readout. I changed the X and Y and saved the changes.
Now the problem, the machine tries to home and it just moves a few inches and errors off. So I went back and changed them back to the default settings, still the same error and movement of the table when trying to home the machine.
Do I have to manually reset the home position?
Thanks for any help in advance.
