Joe I am unable to cure that skipping step problem. I have had to slow the machine to 40ipm and it is fairly reliable at this speed. Any other ideas? I have pulled the y lead screw off of the bearing block on one end and it does not center in the hole. I am trying to resolve this as this is probably one of several problems with my machine.

I will post some vids and pictures once I get it running well, its kinda embarrasing to have a machine that is not functioning right.

if the machine is loosing steps, its either the alignment or the power input feeding the motors, you did set the board vref's correct? (the power supply is the 24v 10amp providing 33vdc +/- end result?).

on the y axis leadscrew the carriage hole and gantry sides should line up perfectly, and this will have the leadscrew centered. the carraiage can how ever be slightly higher or lower if the top 4 5/16" bolts are not adjusted properly, by loosening or tighting the screws in pairs, front two or rear two.

with the power supply even if you are loosing steps on the z-axis then there has to be electonic problem.

Are you able to turn eaisaly by hand or using a variable speed drill to spin the leadscrews?

I would like to see pictures, from angles, and also it moving?

I have downloaded your Solidworks drawings but cannot measure the parts. I can measure the .easm files but not the .sldprt ones. Am I doing something wrong?

ok, so yesterday I took the entire machine apart and basically reinstalled the gantry, the bearing blocks and the lead screws. I finally have the machine working properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it appears that there was a small misalignment in the gantry. Once i reinstalled the parts I was able to get the lead screws to align properly with no binding. I have the machine runing smoothly at 90ipm. I will post a video shortly.

I have triple checked the Vref and it is set at 2.5amps for the keiling motors on the X and Y axis. The Z axis is set for 3 amps. Everything appears to be runing normally now. I will post a video later today.

I may have miss it but What is the TPI of you leadscrew ??? if you have around 20 TPI ,at 40 ipm it's about the max RPM you'll get from step motor without loosing step !!!
