SmoothStepper USB / ESS and Motors Stopping
« on: December 23, 2014, 10:14:19 PM »
I've been struggling with this issue and can't seem to figure out what's happening and don't know what to do. While running a job on my cnc router, randomly one of the motors will stop working. There is no noise coming from the motor, so I don't believe it's stalling. The DRO in Mach3 will continue to count, but again the motor doesn't move. Once I restart Mach3 the issue usually goes away, until again I run g-code. This doesn't seem to be a problem while jogging around. I haven't seen any errors pop up when this happens. I've ran a few smaller jobs successfully, so this problem has seemed somewhat random, making it even more difficult to troubleshoot.
My setup:
CNCRP Pro Machine
Mach3 2010 Screenset
Nema 34 motors
PMDX-126 BOB
PMDX-134
G203V Drivers
ESS
Huanyang 2.2kw Spindle & VFD
I've rechecked wiring and everything looks fine. I don't believe it's a mechanical issue (I've put loctite on all my pulleys), mainly because it jogs fine once Mach3 is restarted. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
