Niels, You can home all the joints with "Home all" buttons, even if there is no homing switch for one of the joints. I did that for the welding robot - the rotary head did not (AFAIK it still does not) homing switch, but it homed together with all the other joints, which had homing switches.
In the robot INI file for that joint without homing switch I had: HOME = xxx HOME_SEQUENCE = 1 All the remaining homing-related lines are commented out. I will disagree with Andy on the advice to delete HOME-SEQUENCE line. EMC Integrators' Manual, page 24: If HOME_SEQUENCE is -1 or not specified then this joint will not be homed by the HOME ALL sequence. If You cannot make it work, send me the part of INI file, which specifies all the joint parameters. I will take a look.
