General Mach Discussion / Steps to making mill bulletproof
« on: January 11, 2015, 06:06:23 PM »
Hello, I just had a horrible day using the mill. It kept crashing about every 3 minutes. I'm running it on a laptop through a sub smooth stepper, the cnc4pc breakout board, and gecko drive motion controllers. The mill is large about the size of a car, and six axis. The frame is 8020, hsd spindle, b/c head, a table rotor and gantry system. I'd like to make this bulletproof, so I can do real work on it. Right now, I can't. Anybody have steps to build on, test with, so I can depend on this thing? If anybody is in the OC area and would like to lend a hand, I'd love it.
I know scales are all working, and all axis work. Nothing is reliable though.
Wits end, argh!
