Hello there,
Our highschool also has an Intelitek CNC router and we encountered a similar error. After talking to some guys in HSMworks we managed to solve the issue. If you want to get technical the error was caused by this part of the post:
N10 G90 G94 G17 G49
N15 G20
N20 G28 G91 Z0.
N25 G90
(2D ADAPTIVE1)
N30 M09
N35 T2 M06
(2 FLUTE FLAT ENDMILL)
N40 S5000 M03
N45 G54
N50 M08
From what I have found through a few edits was deleting this section was an easy fix. The second line, G28 is return to machine zero. However the way most schools "zero" the Intelitek involves a psuedo way in which G00 and similar codes read normally, however when trying to return to zero on the machine it returns to wherever the machine's home truly is which is usually the minimal value on each axis. In your case is -37 inches or millimeters away from ur psuedo home position. This is just from what I have seen with ours, may differ.
There were two G28's at the end of the post that would cause this same issue when the machining was finished. I removed that as all for you.
However if this is too technical, all I did edit the post for the techno router for Intelitek's. Basically all it does is remove that part of the code. Using this modified post will allow you to go straight from HSMworks/Xpress to your machine.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING POST:
1)logon to computer with write access to C:/ drive(most computers limit this for students)
2)Navigate to either:
C:\Program Files\HSMWorks\posts (hsmworks 64 bit version on 64 bit computer and 32 bit version on 32 bit computers)
C:\Program Files\HSMXpress\posts (hsmxpress 64 bit version on 64 bit computer and 32 bit version on 32 bit computer)
C:\Program Files\HSMWorks(x86)\posts (hsmxpress 32 bit version on 64 bit computer, you should update to 64 bit)
C:\Program Files\HSMXpress(x86)\posts (hsmxpress 32 bit version on 64 bit computer, you should update to 64 bit)
3)Save the attached file(Intelitek.cps) to the appropriate directory
4)Restart HSMworks(sometimes the post wont updated unless you browse to the location again or restart HSMworks.)
5)From the dropdown menu choose Intelitek.cps - Intelitek
6)Post code and transfer to machine
If you are still having issues with the machine edit the post on line 189 and change
return; //MAY CAUSE ERRORS, if so COMMENT OUT or delete.
to
//return; //MAY CAUSE ERRORS, if so COMMENT OUT or delete.
This should fix any final errors you may come across. If not, reply with a detailed explanation of the error and I'll try my best to help.
Have a nice day
