General Mach Discussion / Re: Motors locking when not in MPG screen???
« on: March 23, 2013, 05:54:30 AM »
Hi guys,

I did what you explained and checked what computer was set up as then went to the link and did that aswell Gerry ,it caused a few headaches but got it all done tried it out today still does the same thing when tool path is displayed motors lock up in rapids.
Tried a small 10,000 lines cut today with tool path closed and ran perfect, I would still like to somehow get machine running with tool path open. I will take my computer to a computer shop next week to see what they say and see if it can be fixed.

Thanks For all your help guys appreciate it.

Shane.

Hi Guys,

By turning off the tool path screen the problem is fixed very happy thanks !

With that said does anyone know what could be wrong with my computer ?
Is it too slow?
Graphics card?
Or something else.

Thanks
Shane.

I checked the backlash settings and the enable box does not have a tick in it.

Looks like it might be my computer..

Hi Gerry,

I think you might be onto something there because when I move the MPG screen off the tool display motors lock up again and when I cover the tool display with the MPG screen again motors run perfect.
Could you tell me where i turn that off please.

Thanks
Shane

Hi Brett,

I'm not sure, as I haven't had a great deal to do with the Mach3 program have WASTED a lot of time on those TB6560 drivers  >:(

Could you point me in the direction as to where that setting is please.

Thanks
Shane.
