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.
