FAQs / Problem circles

« on: April 09, 2012, 11:36:50 PM »

Hi all...
Not sure how to word my question to make it less confusing.   I have a program that I have been running on my Taig mill for years.  I made zero changes to it and set up to machine out some parts yesterday.  Upon a dry run I noticed it was entering the circle via an entry circle, then immediately doing a rapid quarter circle the other direction, then rapidiing another quarter circle back to almost the start point and then proceeding with the .5" circle it was supposed to cut.  I sent this out to Kurt at Taig and he plugged it in to his computer at Taig and it ran fine.  I have uninstalled the Mach software and reinstalled it all an my license and got the same results.

Thanks in advance!
Bill

General Mach Discussion / Problem making my steppers turn

« on: February 15, 2012, 08:40:16 PM »

I have used mach 3 for many years on my taig mill.  I am in the process of building a new router and purchased a servo controller set from keling.  I have wired the set as best as I could figure using online videos, but cannot get the servos to actually turn.  When I press a direction key the servo vibrates but the shaft doesn't turn.  The guy at keling suggested I need to tune the motor.  I think I have done this but am not sure what he means.  Anybody with experience with this please let me in on the secret!

Thanks!
