General Mach Discussion / Gantry twist

« on: December 01, 2007, 09:06:40 AM »

My name is Luis, new at the forum and cnc, I 've build a 4'x8' plasma table, have problems with the A axis working as slave of X axis, it is twisting the gantryn  because of the rotation for the same side. I n motor tuning I input the same values.
 Other problem is with the Z axis, when I reference all it gets stuck in the limit switch. The screw i'm using there is a two threads 11 mm. It seems to not reverse enough, the leds in the diagnostics are off but machine does'nt move.
Any help will be highly appreciated....
