    Unhappy CNC Router servo drive failiure

    Initially the z axis servo drive would just randomly stop working and wouldn't turn on until i shut the machine down and wait awhile.
    That used to be the main issue.

    I then foolishly switched z axis servo drive in place of a y axis one and thats when the whole machine basically won't turn on anymore (even after switching them back in their original places).
    When i hit restart button inside of Mach3 none of the drivers activate from sleep to run mode. You only hear a relay like on the video and drivers stay in sleep mode and you can only see bb on display the whole time.


    Do you have any tips on what i can do to get the machine up and running again? Thanks.

    Friends, you can contact your purchaser. They should have a circuit diagram to check the circuit. They should also have the driving parameter settings and troubleshooting methods. Hope itcould help you.

    Did you pull out the cables while the motors were powered up? If so, you probably caused a spark which damaged your drives.
