Title: motors running table not need help
Post by: wil trower on December 28, 2007, 11:03:36 PM

I am new to this cnc world, and have loaded the mach 3 today and was going pretty good until , the tuning of the motors came along! I was tuning them as it said by the sound of the motor smoothness, with out chatter but I noticed the table wasn't moving in any direction. Can someone tell me what i need to do to make the table move with the motor or do i have an other problem. The mill is a Terco mill. Only one motor has any info on it and it runs at 200 steps per rev, other two have no tags on them, they are orange if that helps any. Not sure what else to say about it, let know if you need moreinfo and I'll trry to get it. Thanks for any Help...Wil :-\

Hey Wil,
    Have you looked at teh G100 set-up guide? It can be found in the tutorials tab at the top of this page, documentation. There are other resources there that will help as well. Have a look in the videos section too. Did you install the Motion plug-in or I/O only?

Here are links to the plug-ins page and the G100 Set-Up Guide. Look at the guide, it should have links to the plug-in as well.

Wil tower,
What have you got you G100 connected to? what motor drives are you using? how many wires do your steppers have?
