that sounds like a very bad problem go through and check all electric connections before you do anything else.

hold a meter on the machine neg to neg on a power supply not the machine, positive on the machine hit estop see if there is power on the machine frame if there is check all electric connections with the machine disconnected from its power supply.

for the steppers to move by there self there is something very wrong

some vfd or vsd need a ground loop the one on my machine does as that is what the manufacturer demands to be done there is some very technical reason for this the traveller tried to ex-plane why buts it way over my head. its a very expensive and technical vsd it has 10000 different settings.

that's why I said to check with the manufacturer of the vfd

all my electrical work is done by a electrician who knows what he is doing

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / The "Mach4" 3D Laser Build

« on: November 07, 2014, 08:34:32 PM »

its different looking.
once I get my panel and everything fitted and working on my emco. still weeks away have other work I have to get done before xmas

I will build another small engraver It will be like a laser you buy but made from recycled parts I collect dead or unwanted printers so it will be belt drive it will only be x,y motorised with a hand adjustable Z  and a base that can move up and down.

its based around a plotter but a bit stronger
