No indicator on the geckos they just fault out don't know why. as to the steps they are calibrated for each axis but they distance is perfect no problem as i have them moving in exact amounts just the faulting issue is my only problem.

I have the geckos adjusted so don't need to do anything here for kernel speed it's set to 3500 and the step pulse is 2.

Do you think i should adjust the setting or leave them alone as they are, if you think i should adjust  the setting's what is the formula to adjust them and thanks for the help.

I have just run a program and to my surprise the machine was not that slow looked to run just fine my only problem was the drive fault now that i have lowered the Velocity to 900 it seams the problem has gone away at least for the time i have run the machine.
The Encoder's are new they are HP 500 line encoder's on all drives

 i was wrong on the motor they are baldor and they are 120 volt's i am running the transformer at 50 volts for the geckos as they can't handle more then 70 volts originally the transformer out put was 100 volts.
the thread pitch is 5 threads per inch and the ratio is 2 revs motor to one rev screw.

I have the gecko servo drives I think they are the 301 or 320 the motors are connected via a belt drive and pulley set up  i had everything written down as far as pitch and so forth but i can't find it now.

Hi Guy's
I have a question for the Mach Guru's if i set the velocity over 900 in the X axis the drive fault's why would it do that and if i set it to 500 the drive never fault's but it is dam slow also i f the X & Y do not have the same setting's what would happen.
Thanks

OK Jonny maybe i am lost here which machine do you have ? the 3100 requires a formated disk in the buffer or it dose not send the correct info to the machine for it's path it maybe different in the 2700 but i don't think so.
 The driver is something separate that's in the camm program.
