Motor suppressor ?? please explain. Do you think an APC will work? The compressor is new so it can't be that, and it has a dedicated line to the service panel.
as does the control box. the size of wire is code. thanks for the in.put

Thanks for the advise, I will try an larger following error in the config. Just off the top of head if i do that change and my servos are not following the DRO's to within a responsible spec, my parts will not be accurate.  Control box, compressor and CPU are all on separate circuits. My thoughts are to have a line conditioner on the control box that regulates voltage when the compressor spike occurs. Does that sound reasonable?  I must be losing steps on the gecko drives. Its a big 3 phase Ingorsol Rand compressor and when it kicks on the lights in the shop dim ever so  slightly.

General Mach Discussion / Rogers Encoder board

« on: October 18, 2008, 08:34:25 AM »

I have a Rodger's encoder board installed. It is set for a .010 following error and when the compressor kicks on the board goes into reset and stops my machine. I have taken every precaution in my wiring of the control box to eliminate noise. I have two independently different setups, one with air spindles the other with  electric. The Colombo(elec.) runs perfect with no issues. but when the Air turbine spindles call for air and the compressor kicks on, system goes into reset. Any help or direction to a cure would be most appreciated.

I have posted several times and with great success to solving issues. I manufacture Billiard cues, Electric guitars and DanBuilt flight cases. I have built several machines using AHHA but made the switch to Mach.
