General Mach Discussion / Drivers only power up for a short time
« on: February 26, 2017, 06:20:43 AM »
Hi all, great forum u guys have going
I have built a couple of small cnc tables before, now this one is bigger and running duel x axis motor and one single y axis
Anyway have couple of issues. When I turn on Mach 3 on computer and turn on power to the power supply for drivers, no green led is lit on drivers, which is normal, when I hit reset on Mach3 drivers power up and green leds on and motors lock but within 5 sec drivers switch off or loose power.
Then when I move any axis, drivers power up again for another short while
Only way round it is to keep moving axis for about a minute and then drivers will stay powered, it's not a big problem but am afraid of maybe doing long term damage
Regards
