    Question Bridgeport stopping in cycle

    I have 2 bridgeports stopping in cycle. They are stopping at random intervals during the cycle. One of the machines had an error saying something about the limits. I thought it might be a motor issue.

    These machines are only 2 of many, so nothing in the pipeline.

    Any ideas are welcomed.
    Many thanks

    You may be asking it to go past where it can physically go. Run it in block mode and see what line it faults at and see if it is beyond its travel.

    RF interference? Are the two machines at fault next to eachother and possibly next to some new equiptment that was installed? Such as a plasma machine or TIG welder, something with high frequency?
