A rotary axis will only ever home to the home switch, and it is hard to think of a way that could ever be more than 360 degrees away. I think that if it was at 40 turns + 10 degrees it would unwind 10 degrees, see the switch, and zero-out the 40 full turns in the machine coordinates. How many rotary axes actually have home switches anyway? I am embarassed to say that I have never noticed if EMC holds relative position information during a power-down, or machine position for that matter. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
