Do you lose steps when just moving one axis?
If not then if you have a volt meter command a move on 2 axis and see if your power supply is managing to keep a steady volytage in to your drives.
Then same with a 3 axis move.

What are the specs of your computer and also can you attach your xml just in case there is a config issue.

ok, if one axis move it's steady, I will test the voltage tomorrow, that will takes time to open the controller.

I will attach the xml also
thanks

I use step motor drive from gecko
ergo full, half, 5 or 10 microstepping depending on which drive.

I use Ballscrew with 5 mm lead on X and Y.
...
I use step motor with NO gear ratio nor belt reduction, it's a direct drive from motor to ballscrew.

XY steps per 157.48...

Am I missing something here?
Yes, something is definitely odd in the motor setup. Also, if the Z axis is really 1" lead (25.4mm) and the X and Y axis are 5mm lead, all three are direct drive then the microstepping must be different for for the Z axis.

We need more and accurate information.

Mike

PS Is this a metric or imperial machine? I am assuming metric.

You may have to rename your xml before the forum will accept it as it only allows a file name to be used once.
Hood
I just modify the previous reply with attachment
