Hi all,
I ran into a problem yesterday that I hope someone can give me some tips on. I have a Taig 2016, conversion done by Dan Mauch of Camtronics that I bought second hand. The controller is by Dan, has a 36v power supply and three Gecko 201s. I'm running it all with Mach 3.
The problem I am having is that if I try to jog with more than one axis at over 15 IPM one of the axes will chatter/grind/skip steps. It basically makes an awful noise and stops moving. It seems to be random as to which one will do it. The interesting thing is that if I just jog one axis I can jog as fast as I want. I've tested up to 40 IPM.
Can anyone give me some suggestions as to where to look for this problem? I'm electronics savvy but not very CNC savvy yet.
Thanks,
Jason von Nieda
