General Mach Discussion / motors stalling and or missing steps
« on: April 23, 2012, 01:47:59 PM »
Hello everyone.
I'm running two machines both gecko540 - 270 oz steppers, windows 7 same set up numbers both machines. Problem is one of the machines the motors stall and or miss steps. Swapped contol box, swapped motors and swapped computers. I've narrowed it down to the computer problem seems to follow the computer. The motors are shielded . Had the I.T. guy thoroughly check the computers and can find no problem. Also if you hold one of the motors in your hand you can feel kind of a " ticking "
Any ideas anyone.
Thanks Dave
