Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: odd yet consistant problem

This is happening at 100% jog and I am running it back and forth -deliberately- till the drive faults...Which can be as quick as half a table pass..Loosening up the gibs took strain off the drives but I cant work close tolerance jobs with loose table like that..You familiar with Rutex drives? I have the current limit variable resistor cranked all the way to maximum current .Documentation with the drives didnt give me any clues to 'proper' adjustment for that one...And no ,during approximately 50 runs of an engraving program it has never faulted.But it is not a program that works the machine hard..

Humm...the Rutex drives fault (over current or postition error) and
latch off (remove power from drive ouputs so you would see the ability
to rotate the shaft easily by hand) so that a removal of power is
required to reset them. Sounds like some condition is causing that to
happen during your jog modes. How do you have the jog speed set? Is
it 100% of axis velocity or some number under that? The DRO will
continue to roll even after the fault unless you hook up the fault
output and make it trigger an e-stop. That of course would just make
it more frustrating.

So you NEVER have had it do that (one axis die) while cutting?
Somehow in jog mode it sounds like you are exceeding the dynamics of
your drives and they are faulting which basically just latches the
outputs off for that axis.
