Hey guys,
I am in the process of setting up a 3040T-DJ CNC Routing machine. I have been following the directions exactly so far. I can use the arrow keys and page up/down keys to move the spindle around and everything seems to be functioning perfectly. (Using Mach 3 demo version).
When I zero out all of the coordinates, then move the spindle to some arbitrary location, I then click the "GOTO ZERO" button. The machine moves in the direction, then there is kind of a pause/jerk, and an odd noise, it then continues and stops at what it thinks is zero. It is off... it seems like when the pause/jerk happens, it looses some of its position somehow. I want to add, that the connection between the stepper motor and the threaded rod is solid, so its not slipping or anything like that.
Can you guys give me any advice on what to do? I'm pretty stumped.
I also took a video demonstrating the test, and so you can hear the noise it makes. Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated!
