    Tuning Gecko 320 servo driver

    I am facing a new problem tuning a set of 4 320 gecko drives. I am using the following system:

    Software: Mach3
    computer: Dell c640 2.o GHZ INTEL PROCESSOR
    1 mbyte ram
    Interface; SoundLogic Combo Board, from Campbell Design

    Servo:
    Power Supply: 65 VDC 10Amp
    x & y servos: 875 InOz
    z servo 1125 In0z

    My problem is that regardless of the settings of the three pots, I get faulting. I have reduced the speed, to 50 IPM and 15 sec acceleration. The Step and direction pulses are set at 5.

    The machine is a Industrial Hobbies Square column Mill.

    I set up mach3 with a kernal speed of 25KHz. I can function the jog but it will fault out every time.

    Any help will be appreciated. We scoped GECKO output and cannot get the dampening correct. The motors seem to be tuned correctly, they will hum when you attempt to over-power the servo.

    Hi Mariss

    in my problem, well yes is connected a belt, no reduction, moving the gantry, and triying to move in slow speed, with servo, around 300 mm/min or less, but keeps cloging for more i tune Geckos 320.

    Do i need reduction?

    Is the encoder divisions the cloging i see? i though was interference but seems is nopt since i isolated everything.

    Thanks
