General Mach Discussion / x and y axis move at different speeds
« on: November 28, 2012, 12:09:16 AM »
Hello
I have a problem I hope you can help me with, I built my 4 x 8 plasma cutting table and I've actually been cutting with it for a few months but tonight I realized I I have a problem.
The inches per, for my X and Y axis are set up and accurate 1 inch = 1 inch but the Y axis moves much faster than the X axis and tonight I actually lost my cut on 18gauge stainless steel in the Y direction.
On my x-axis I'm running 3 to 1 planetary gear heads, the y-axis I'm running direct drive, rack and pinion on both, my original understanding was when I built this that that would not be an issue.
I am hoping there is something simple I am missing here and that you can help me out with my problem
Thanks Darren
