There is a lot of info in the g-rex part of this forum. It may be a good idea to start there.

Hi Michael,

welcome, you are in the right place to get it sorted.

Are you setting up 2 or 3 axis?

What have you got set in ports and pins for your servos?

General Mach Discussion / Re: mill doesn't return to programmed position

This is very strange, even if the steps per were wrong the tool would come back to the same point.

Are you using cutter compensation in your program?  If so are you cancelling with G40 before the end of the program?

General Mach Discussion / Re: z axis not moving after sometime DRO shows that is moving

« on: May 14, 2007, 03:28:49 AM »

If the motor turns free when you get the fault, it must be a lack of power to the motor.

You could try swapping the x and z gecko and see if the fault moves to the x.

I sounds more like a power supply or Gecko problem, have you plenty of air moving around the Gecko's it could be heat related.

Also check for poor connections on the z axis power side.
