General Mach Discussion / inconsistant dial gauge readings on axes
« on: April 25, 2010, 12:47:25 AM »
hi,
I have installed a kit from Promica for the Super X3 Mill. On Testing the accuracy after install ,the readings (gauge indicator) indicated a bad backlash problem. I was advised the check the alignment of the ball nuts, leadscrews etc. and find any inconsistencies and remedy them. At the same time to install a dedicated PC running Mach 3 only and checking it with the Drive Test software. I did all this. The slides run smoothly and no virtually no backlash exists The readings now indicate practically zero on the Y axis but almost no change on the X axis.
I've tried to use various settings in the config/backlash settings in the correct procedure and motor velocities etc. I'm thinking that the problem lies in the software! I don't think the controller is faulty.
Can anyone please help?
