General Mach Discussion / Re: Jogging x axis speeds up spindle help plz
« on: November 10, 2013, 03:18:27 AM »
Getting rid of noise can be problematic at best and basically can just be a case of trial and error. Industrial machines solve this issue by having 24v I/O rather than 5v and thankfully quite a few controllers are now on the market which utilise 24v. Previously on my machines I had to do the conversion to and from 24v myself but now it is done for me and makes for a much neater system.
Regarding backlash, if you have a Dial Indicator you can place it beside the axis you are checking, jog onto the point then zero the DRO in Mach. Make sure you are in step Jog mode then back off the point whilst watching the needle, as soon as the needle moves you stop jogging and the value in the DRO in Mach will be your backlash.
