Anyone else experiencing issues when manually moving the gantry, the direction seems to stay pressed and the gantry continues moving. I’ve seen this happen in my +z direction before but it happened again today in the -y direction and snapped my touch probe. I haven’t seen this happen when I’m running a program, only manually controlling.
The reason I’m thinking it’s a software issue is that the only way i can get cut control to not show the direction locked down is to close out of cut control.
I’ve had it happen before, but figured it was the touch screen acting up. If the button was still highlighted from a previous press it would continue or sporadically press the button on its own. Now when I finish with a function I toucb an area off of any buttons. The last thing I need is for the spindle to toggle with I’m changing tools
I thought that too but It doesn’t let me untoggle the command. I have to close cut control to clear whatever’s going on. I guess I’ll just have to keep my hand over the e stop when I’m manually controlling it.
This may not be your issue, but I have had this happen before. The touch screen is very sensitive to any liquids. I had a tiny smear of coolant on my finger, pressed X+, and the button continued to be pressed. I only use the touch pen now.
I agree about the coolant residue on the screen. I don’t use the touch screen at all anymore. I never had this issue, though. Using the mouse is much simpler for me.
its not a touch screen issue - mine does this regularly as well and I have no touch screen.
mainly happens when jogging and hits a soft limit, but other things have caused it as well. sometimes homing the machine fixes it, other times a connection reset, and if all else fails, exit and relaunch cut control.
I would try uninstalling, then reinstalling Cut Control. I would also check all connections in the control enclosure. Ensure the cabinet is isolated from the machine. Maybe re-flash the firmware? Those are the steps I would take. All else fails, I would try replacing the control board.
It was happening to my when using a bluetooth keypad. I don’t use any bluetooth input devices anymore because of that issue. But sounds like it happens with the touchscreen too…
I don’t use any bluetooth or touchscreen and haven’t had anymore issues.
I had it happen once just the other day. I thought I messed something up as I was manually jogging with the wireless controller, but then hit the jog-step on the touch screen while I was still “continuously” jogging with the pendant.
E-stop worked well.
This issue happens on mine all the time. I’ve learned to avoid it by making certain I only touch one thing at a time. If you are jogging and attempt to have CC do anything else it will latch the button. Don’t try to jog and touch the screen, don’t jog and acknowledge a pop up, literally nothing else except press the single jog button and release. Sometimes there is a delay in the button unpressing on the screen, if you hit anything else before it clears it will latch it.
I agree with @Dre. Push one button at a time, or you will have issues. It has happened to me when my fingers are ahead of Cutcontrol. I have learned the hard way. I have had zero problems since.
