Re: Anilam 3 axis Mill Y axis Lag over Max
To get the motors to run properly under computer control there four things that must be properly connected. 1) the armature wires (motor power), 2) the tach feedback to the drive, 3) the encoder connection to the computer, and 4) the +/- 10V analog command signal to the drive. They all have to be in agreement as to direction. Since the motor connections to the drives were undisturbed, then most likely the armature and tach feedback are correctly connected. So that leaves the encoder and analog connections to the computer.
You noted that when moving the axes manually the DRO seems correct.
Just as a quick encoder check when standing in front of the machine:
X axis, table moving to the left, X DRO should be counting in the positive direction
Y axis, table moving away from you, Y DRO should be counting in the negative direction.
Z axis, quill moving down, Z DRO should be counting in the negative direction.
If encoders are all correct, then are the analog signals from the computer connected to the correct drive? And with the correct polarity?
I don't think you need a test board at this point.
