I have installed some nema 34 1160 oz motors from keling,(X and Y) I can jog them a little and then the stop in the DRO (MACH) start to blink. I have set them bipolar and set the current to 6.4 .
For the Z axis I have a nema 24 595 oz motor, it doesn´t start but gets warm.
>Dont know what to do, I have changed acceleration and velocity , but nothing changes.

Does it say soft limit activated? Is your soft limit buttom turned off?

[lamicron]

It says: external stop requested when it starts to blink.

Do you have the estop connected? If no, then change the settings in Config (top left corner) then Port and Pins then Input Signals tab and scroll to Estop and disable it for now.

[lamicron]

Yes I have it in low, then i´ll disable tomorrow and tell what happens.
Thanks for help

I ´ve disbled the estop, had to put a 0 in the port, now the machine works, but have no Estop. I have checked the stopsbut everything is ok, tomorrow i´ll change the pin in the board, any other idea???

I have some noise and vibration problem with the 1160 oz motors. I set the steps per at 60 as result of the fine tunning to get the same travel as the dro. My resolution is 1/8, gear and rack 20 pitch , 20 teeth, pulleys 3:1and have set the motors at 6.4 v parallel con. Am, I rigth?

[DennisCNC]

You have a power supply of 6.4v to the motor drives? or do you mean Amps?
Do yo have micro-stepping drives? What brand drives?

[lamicron]

I get it from Keling , he already told me 6.4 v is ok in the driver (current settings)
what I´m not really sure is about the steps per.
Scott from MACH told me to use the setting for steps in the mach dro- settings.
I have changed the velocity and accel but noise continues..

[DennisCNC]

What do you have the micro step setting on the drive?
What drive model do you have:?

[lamicron]

driver 8078, set at 1/8 (1600 steps)

[DennisCNC]

This will be your steps per inch:

1527.88745368219522338128


1,600 x 3 / pi= 1527.8874536821952233812841283761

your 20 tooth gear has a pitch diameter of 1 so it will go (pi) distance in one revolution.

Sorry I missed the 1/8 in your last post.

I have it at 62 ! And if I input 30mm in the dro the axis travel 30mm , John from kellling told me the same , that i have it wrong:
But in the settings tab (MAch dro) the button for SET STEPS PER< GIVES ME THE SAME 62.
Then... could be any other thing setting wrong ?

[lamicron]

Scott from Mach support told me that 1500 steps per sound like inches, and also told me that 62 is more close to the mm as I ´m working with.
The machine is giving the measures ok, only problem left is the noise an vibration,

[lamicron]

Now I have another problem, I connected the plasma direct to the # 1 output pin of the board with the 5 volt relay, it starts firing but for a few seconds 1 or 2 inches and then stops and also stop the machine. I checked firing the plasma manually outside the machine independet from the board and it fires normally, looks like the 5 v relay opens the contact or something from the software...? any clues?

[lamicron]

I have some noise problem ,
The plasma works ok if I work it by hand. But if I work from the
machine it stops after 10- 15 secs. In the DRO the stop is triggered
and it says limit triggered or stops triggered. So, I disconected the
plasma from the machine and triggered manually, the machine stops,but
the plasma dont, So, I disconnect limits and stops and triggered the
plasma from output 1 and again the machine stops after 10 secs of
cutting.,
I have the motors connected with shielded cable , but stops and limits
with regular cable.
All the grounding with cooper rods 4 ft. one fro the plasma the other
for the table. Pc and electronics from the building ground.
Thanks in advance for the help

I had to replace the C10 board (cnc4pc) because someone welded over the cncplasma table and blow it.
I have connection with the limits and stops but the motors don´t spin, I have changed the driver and tried other motor but nothing works. Checked the serial cable ,pins , etc any idea?
Thanks
Luis

Scott form MAch helped me with the problem , the motors did not spin, then in motor tuning i rised the step and dir pulses to 16 and now the machine is working.
