Starting out with CNC and bought a well-loved Sabre 1000. Been making it move around and cleaning things so far. This morning I jogged the Z past max + and triggered an alert. Jogged it back down with the Master Start and rebooted per the manual and the overtravel alert cleared OK and stayed cleared. But now when I run an align routine I'm getting the 15144 "X,Y,Z Slides Unaligned" alert. Clearing the alert and trying to align again has the same result.
Called the old operator of the machine and he suggested checking out the Y limit switch, as it gets swarf and crud over time. Cleaned out the Y ways. Any suggestions on flushing a limit switch in case old coolant has gummed it up?
Thinking I may have bumped something with the Z overtravel. Can anyone point me toward where to look first?
