Professor Hood -
I have spent some time trying to get the motors tuned up and am having problems calibrating the system. I have tried both calculating steps per unit and using the automatic setup in Mach 3. I set inches as my native unit. When I have the X axis move 1 unit it only moves 9/16". I click OK and have Mach 3 adjust the steps and repeat the process getting the same result. All three axis respond the same.
I went to motor tuning and put in a value of 10000. I then went to the MDI set the DRO for X axis to 0 and entered G0 X10. The axis moves 1 - 9/16".
My Applied Motion drivers are set for a 2000 S/R resolution. The resolution of my stepper motors is 200.
Thanks again,
Matt
