General Mach Discussion / Jog Y in minus and X motor moves
« on: June 04, 2006, 03:52:54 PM »
I set up Mach3 on a Taig. Everything seems OK but one thing. I noticed that while doing tests that the X motor will ever so slowly move a click or two or three while rapiding in Y minus. I tired slowing down the motor down. I put it in MDI and feed it slowly with the same results. Then I ran a program and it did the same thing and x position was lost. It's around .004 thousands in every 5 inches of travel in the y minus only. So if I was to program that was a circle it would turn into a slot after 50 passes. Or I get taper milling in Y- but the + is perfect. All motors hold rock solid except that one. Any hints!
Thanks for the help,

P. S. When the x motor clicks while y is moving it doesn't show anything different on the readouts.
