i have a k2 machine with issues but it seems like the company went belly up
the site is still up but all support has gone dead, even for buying, very strange.

the temp is pretty normal we have fans to pull out the hot air that lead directly outside

its pretty random

the motors normally run fairly cold actually

the table and all components are grounded the wires are 12 guage

we have run them without load to do short tests but we haven't done a full program with all of them disconnected

we're running gecko drives and mach 3

using servos not steppers
2 completely melted down brushes were fine, we mostly cut high density foam so it wasn't trying to torque through anything just...

in the in program calibration there are steps to change voltage depending on the motors that you use
i havent seen anything about resistors though thanks for the tip!

the sites still up but all...

our motors are burning out at a far higher rate than they should
we have tried lowering the feed rate well below what its advertised to run at and they still burn out just as quickly
also the two...

we dont know for sure but from what we've seen it seems like its putting too much power to our motors even though we have it limited in the program

by the way does anybody know for sure if k2 has...

At my job we have a k2 (k2 seems to have gone out of business) 3 axis cnc routing table with a control box that i believe uses gecko
