Novaturn lathe moving the home position
We have a Novaturn lathe the process we need to run on the machine requires the home position to be moved closer to the chuck. We have made a longer trigger rail to be fitted in place of the original. I was just wondering what values I need to change in the machine parameters to allow this.

This is from a previous post:
(Obviously make sure you're not going to hit or break anything at the far end of travel
)
However, thinking about it - if you have moved the home switch closer to the chuck already, then you shouldn't need to change the parameters. The length of travel will be the same in Z, just that it is now shifted closer to the chuck.To change software limits in VR Turning:
Menu Setup -> Machine Parameters... -> enter denny as password
OK -> click Machine Capability in tree for your machine -> decrease "Travel Z-" from -176 to say -200 which will add about an inch
of travel towards the chuck.
