Re: Zerocentre 4th axis
There are lots of parameters related to the 4th axis but couldn't see any that enable it - couldn't see any 900 option bits either so it could be a standard feature (not an option)
I'd imagine there are some 8000 parameters to set for the 4th axis motor type, see this post:

PS, I thought GIBO was some kind of acronym so googled it and found an interesting definition

Re: Zerocentre 4th axis
I remember retro-fitting the 4th axis several years ago. I would have documented the parameters at the time. It would have been recorded on a service sheet which may have been discarded in the move. I will not be able to check until friday but will let you know what I find.
I presume the motor parameters are set it just needs to know it has the 4th axis fitted.

Thanks Martin Think your right in saying the parameter are there only shows XYX on screenMartin wrote:I remember retro-fitting the 4th axis several years ago.
