Is it possible to JOG without going HOME first? Secret Home
If you want to jog the slide away from home before homing the machine or if the machine fails to home and you want to test each axis jogs correctly is there a way to do this?
It may be that one of the home switches is not functioning correctly and you want to jog away to allow cleaning?

This can be caused if you start the home procedure when the laser is not powered on. If you apply power to the laser while it is inside the homing routine the direction the slide moves can be random. :idea: Always ensure the Laser and Extraction are connected to the power before you start to run a j...

If this is after a new software installation or computer change ensure the correct machine type is selected. Different machines have different ballscrew and step ratios so selecting the wrong machine could result in the machine moving too fast, slow, far or little. Check the machine type displayed a...
