General Mach Discussion / No Y axis movement Easy Loader Plasma table
« on: February 08, 2012, 01:52:08 PM »
Newbie question
Our school has a Easy Loader CNC Plasma table. Blue Series, 4x8. Currently we have no good documentation on the set up of this table as it relates to the Mach 3 software.  Currently we can run the X axis no problem, but have no movement on the Y axis. I did check the Y axis motor by connecting to the X axis driver, and that works fine, proving the motor is working correctly. I have been testing the motors by using manual operations within the Mach 3 software.   This system is connected to a Windows XP system with a parallel cable. I have tried different cables with no change in function. I have tried toggling various settings, one at a time, in the configuration with no change. I did the automatic set up of the limit switches for both X and Y and that seem to work fine.
I am looking for suggestions as to what to try next, and/or setup information for Mach 3 and our table, so I know that is configured correctly.

Thank you for any assistance. The school has had this table for 4 years and it appears it has never worked correctly.
