    Z-Axis Trouble on Syil X4 (using Mach 3 CNC Controller Software)

    Hello,

    I have a Syil X4 CNC Mill, and I use Mach 3 CNC Controller Software by Art Soft Software. My mill has worked great for months, but I went to use it the other day and the z-axis got reversed. When I tell the mill to move up, it goes down, and down when I tell it to go up. The x and y axis work fine. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Jon

    Check, Config>Ports and Pins>Motor Outputs>Z-axis - Change DirLowActiw
    ... to Red or Green and restart Mach.

    Hope that helps!

    you also can change the setting of mach3 as follow:
    config -> homing/limiting -> reversed,find z,change it,than Z axis will work ok
