    Bridgeport EZ Path

    I have a bridgeport machine that when you power it up, the table will move all the way to one side & you have to power it down to stop it. What could the issue be?

    assuming you have DC Servo Amp's if, Yes what Model number Amp's?...Tach wires backwards...Motor wires backwards...has someone been doing any wiring when the problem started? Has the machine ever run correctly?

    It is DC and no one has worked on it. It is a machine that seldom gets used.

    A good place to start is to probe the connection to the relevant servo and see if it's shorted to the DC bus.
