Here's what is happening.....
When I start the machine up I usually leave it sit and warm up a bit before I start moving any axis around.
Lately it seems like It's taking longer to "straighten" itself out.
I switch to set up mode and try to move any axis the readout on the dro will say it moved some crazy number like 33.679 inches but the axis only appears to move the 1 inch commanded move. I then zero the axis back out. As I move all 3 axis around one inch at a time it will continue to say crazy numbers until all of a sudden it will read that it only moved the 1 inch command. Once it starts doing that it seems fine from there on out. If I MDI it to move a specific amount that's what it does after it seems to get "warmed up".
I just afraid one of these days it isn't going to straighten itself out and will read crazy numbers all the time.
Any ideas?
Is it a specific board going bad?
I'm still running all the original boards and panels and I understand some of these may have problems over time.
I'd like to try and head this off if possible before one day I have job and it won't ever read the correct readouts on the dro.
Thanks for any help and/or advice.
