I have a MH 5L robot with a DX100 controller and I can't get the robot to move straight in Cartesian coordinates. With everything zeroed out and no tcp data it wants to move at weird angles when you try and move it up and down or forward and backwards. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? Thank you in advance.

1) Incorrect abso data. Take each axis to 0 pulse counts. The alignment marks should line up.
2) Controller initialized with a different robot. Compare the name plate number on the robot to the model the controller is initialized with under SYSTEM INFO, VERSION.
3) If the robot was MotoCal'd, someone mistyped the link length in. Missed a 0 or two.
Been like this forever or just recently?

You are correct they had the wrong robot model selected. It was setup as a short arm and not the long arm.
