    servo error

    We have a shinx router with sanyo-denki dc servo motors. What are some of the conditions that would continually return a servo error. It isn't always the same axis. We had the control checked out.

    Hi Jim,

    IMO, its either in the motors, the cables, the encoders, the amplifiers or the controller

    So what kind of error message are you getting ( in general terms)?

    Transient errors like that are hard to nail down, but if you have already done the usual swapping of motors, cables and amplifiers, and found no pattern of error, then I'd have to start swapping boards in the controller, if it has any. Failing opto isolators give me grief like that sometimes, but I am not running your particular controller.

    Sorry I can't be of specific help.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
