I am a newbie and a CC machining instructor struggling to get my DCC gage running with PCDMIS 3.5. I have to stand on my head and recite poetry to get the machine to operate manually before opening the program and homing the machine. It seems the y axis is the main problem. I can get X and Z to move, but then the little light goes out. I have tried:
1.Cleaning the ways and scales with alcohol eyeglass swabs.
2.Starting up with PC off, E-stop on, moving the x,y and z by hand, un-twist the E-stop and hold down start machine. (This sometimes works)
3. I checked that the E-stop button in the controller is properly attached to the switch, and that the dongle is fully engaged on the back of the PC.
4. Going back to square one, turn all off, wait 10 minutes and power up again.
Don't even let me start with the lab tutorial problems I am having (Clearance planes? Values for "Find Nominals Tolerance?). I really need to get this up and going for my students and for checking their project parts.
Help!
