Title: Spindle moving slowly from right to left
Post by: Ben1977 on December 18, 2011, 02:24:45 AM

Hi everybody, i am new in cnc machine, when l turn on spindle motor from control box without loading any G-Code, my spindle bits will move slowly from right to left. Can anyone tell me what actually happening here. I afraid that it will cause different end results if l load my G-Code. Thank you.

Hi Ben,

Could well be electrical noise. Are you using a VFD with your spindle motor ??

Hi Ben,

VFD's are notorious for producing electrical noise.
Check that you have no 'earth loops' and that your VFD is only earthed at one point.
Re-route your spindle cable away from any signal cables.
Check that you have no 'GND loops' in your wiring layout.
Use shielded cable for your limit and estop switches and only connect the screen at the controller end.

Just a few things to try,

Tweakie.

Hi Tweakie, sorry for late reply. The problem that l had is due to "rubbish pulse in my cnc working environment", thank you Tweakie for helping me to solve my problems, you are awesome  ;)
