Title: Motor Stall
Post by: Drew Pearce on August 02, 2013, 10:19:31 PM

Hey Guy's
Ive had my Router table running for a while, no problems.
Today, I went to start a project for a friend, and the motors start stalling.
This is really noticable on Rapid, but also on general cutting runs.

This is new....It was working nicely.

Tried swapping Gecko drive, checking grounding, checking wires, still does it.
At present, both Y & Z have had there belt drives removed (X Direct drive, and more difficult to work with), and they Stall still

Help !!!


Drew

Just a thought.

both producing 48V each, but the 2 axis that are playing up run from the same power supply.
Will try and check when under load.......
Thanks

Update
Turns out, its the computer.....

The Tech Guys said he'd not seen this sort of problem before.
We swapped out eveything, and the last thing was the computer - problem solved.

Now to find another computer with a Parallel port :)
