Hello All,
I have a PR machine with G4 control box now, the box used to be PRT before the G4 upgrade. The XY motors I have are PK296A1A and the Z motor is PK266. Installed the software, and zeroed my x,y,z at the left bottom corner of the table, Changed the unit values xy 2300.00 (because it worked) and Z 10000.00 (not tested yet).
The question is:
If I do MX5, It moves 5 inches, but
If I do JX5, It move 2 inches (not exact) but the panel say 5 inches, Could someone please explain ?

Thanks in Advance,
Marwan Samara

The first thing I would do would be to verify that the unit values you set, are correct for your machine. Sounds to me this is where your problem lies.

The next thing I would look for would be anything causing loss of steps.

I changed the Multipliers below the Unit Values to 1's instead of 5's. And changed the XY unit value to 2291.931 because I saw in another post and it's perfect, Now the MX JX commands are equal, But the Z Still missed up.

Tested the MZ Commands and all OK.
