Hi everyone,
I am retrofitting my 1981 Enshu Accumill with LinuxCNC, Mesa 7i43, Mesa 7i33TA and AMC 12a8e servo drives.
I have everything set up and I am configuring the system. When testing the motors I noticed something strange on my Y axis. If I command a positive direction it barely moves. Once the command ends, it reverses in the opposite direction at full speed.
I currently have the drive in Voltage mode. I have checked all voltages to and from the drive with the motor disconnected. It is all correct. The command voltage is correct and the output voltage is correct in both directions. I also confirmed it is not the motor since I tried different motors and the problem persisted.
Since the voltages are correct, I am starting to think the current output of the drive is a problem. Perhaps the drive is broken?
Have any of you experienced this problem or have suggestions?
Thanks!
