Bridgeport Series II Interact 2 problems
Hi. I'm having some problems with a Heidenhain TNC 145 c... The batteries went off and there was no power also on the machine, so the parameters erased form memory. I replaced the batteries and tried to RE-enter the parameters, following the instructions in the Manual, but when i turn on the machine, after pressing CE, it sais "pass over z- reference mark, pass over y- reference mark, pass over x- reference mark" and nothing moves at all. Could this problem occur because of some wrong parameters? Anyone can help? Thanks.
Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 2 problems!
Hi everyone!
I'm having some problems with my Bridgeport Series 2 Interact 2... When i tried to home the machine, after the X and Y axes were homed, the Z axis didn't move at all, so i opened the servo's panel and tried to spin the motor by the belt, by hand. It was stuck, so i took the belt of the motor and gave a little shock to the motor, with a hammer, and it started spinning again. I put the belt back on and tried to home the machine, but now, the Z axis starts by moving downwards a little, and then goes upwards slowly a little, and suddenly it goes up very fast and hits the limit switch very hard. I had to change the first limit switch, because it was hit so hard, that it broke. It already broke 2 limit switches, by hitting them so hard. I, again, changed the limit switch, but i didn't put it up because it will brake it again. I tried pressing the limit switch while the axis moves up, but it doesn't stop...
Another thing is that when the Z axis goes down a little, it shows a positive value and when it goes up, it shows a negative value... Shouldn't the UP value be positive and the DOWN value be negative?
Did i do something wrong by taking the belt off and then putting it back on? Does it need to be put in a certain position in order for it to work properly? I would appreciate any help. Thanks a lot.

I still haven't fixed my machine. I hit a dead end trying to find the problem and i just left it and worked on something else (for a few years :tired: ) . Now i need to use the machine. So, i have to fix it somehow. The problems are still the same mentioned above. Maybe someone could help me find a cure :D Thanks ;)
