General Mach Discussion / z axis problems
« on: April 13, 2009, 10:43:00 PM »
Hay guys,
i am new to this form and new to the Mach3 controler and i am having some problems with my machine. here is some specs of my machine
computer: amd 500+ processer, 1GB of ram. and all i have installed on there is mach3 cut2d and turbocad. (nothing else no internet or anything)
the machine has: Gecko G540, 24v 8A powersupply, 3 nema 23 495 oz-in motors from keling.
here is my problem.
i go to cut out my project and what happens is i set my z zero as close as i can to the material then zero everything out, i hit run and it goes trough its paces. then when it come to the z axis going down for the next pass it just simple stops, mach still keeps everything going, it calculates it going down, numbers move but the z axis doesn't. the x and y axis keep on moving but the z wont, then when i stop the machine and tell it to go to z zero its always way above the material.
what can i do to fix this, any suggestions out there.
