General Mach Discussion / Re: Geckos Faulting

« on: March 03, 2009, 11:08:44 AM »

we are running geckodrive servo 6320 on a plasma cutter. I don't think we have ever run 6 continuous yet, but as for overheating not sure how to check that other than put my hand on them and none have ever been hot. the problem has mostly been with the "y" axis. We will be running through a pattern then in the exact same spot every time the gecko will fault. It doesn't stop it just re-zoroes at that point and continues cutting the part.

Thanks for the info

We ran without issue for almost a year, then when we started having trouble with the gecko drivers faulting and the machine re-zeroing we got some advice to back down our max velocities and accelerations.   We have done that twice and each time it works for about 6 hours of run time then the same thing starts happening again.
