Is this the same linear delta machine you were asking about earlier? In that case I think it is expected - the tool platform is lower than the joints by the strut length (vertical projection of strut length, to be precise). So, if joints are at 0, then the TCP (tool controlled point) will be somewhere in Z<0. Just to check for that - what if you try to set joint home positions to something like 100 or 200 instead of 0 (in INI file with HOME = and HOME_OFFSET = variables, change both so that joint does not move from "home switch position" to final home position). For more details see here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini_config.html#_axis_lt_num_gt_section_a_id_sub_axis_section_a I guess that you might need to adjust joint max limits as well. -- Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
