Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Servo Heating

The "gain" on the G320 is probably set too high. If this is a Bridgeport type machine there shouldnt be that much load on the Y servo, other than inertia. The only axis I've noticed this being a problem is Z driving the 1000lb+ knee and peck drilling, and that is after like 4 solid hours of it.

One of the things that will help with motors running cooler is a 100volt 1000mf cap right at the drive on the motor leads.

I have a large mill with brushed servos and Gecko 320's. My Y servo
runs hotter than the X servo. The Y isn't uncomfortably hot, just much
hotter than X. Reduction is the same on all axis. Is this unusual? I
know that the Y drives much more mass (saddle) than the X but don't
know if this is the reason. Any thoughts? Could it be brushes?
