General Mach Discussion / X-Axis Motor Tuning help.
« on: January 02, 2015, 05:08:42 PM »
Hello all, I really didn't want to start this one but i searched and tried solutions that others have suggested and none are working for me. I think mine might be deeper. I'll try my best with supplying info to you and will get you as much as I can. (photos/videos too if needed) I'm really a new user to CNCs.
I have ZERO issues with my y and z axis on the motor tuning. they move super smooth. my x-axis seems to fail here and there and it's just killing my CNC production work when doing 3D work.
The motor is a IDC P33V-CO Part number is 801-307. It is connected to a screw drive that is about 6' long. my initial thought was it was binding because the the drive was not completely square. I've fixed that issue and I still see skipping (mainly only in 3D). I would think this motor should be strong enough to kill me but I can stop the movement of the carriage with little effort with the current tuning. Is it getting to little of power?
The drive I'm using is a Geckodrive G540
CNC table is ~7'x2.5'
X-axis settings:
Steps per: 78.80090284
velocity: 4000.2
acceleration: 900
step pulse: 1
Dir Pulse: 0
if you need more info and/or any suggestions please let me know.
cheers.
