Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Servo heating

It could be a problem with motor tuning. Servos always hunt back and
forth between two counts. If the gain is very high for instance the
drive will put quite a bit of effort into this hunting, causing heating.
Does the motor hum or buzz while the machine is stationary?
