Hi Jerry, If I jog the x-axis it usually won't start moving. It just sits there and makes a horrible sound. But really when it does start moving it doesn't sound near as good as the y&z axis.
I am using mach3, gecko 202's, 50vdc and approx. 17 amps. I believe it just does not have enough torque. I tried the acceleration and velocity at all different ranges, nothing worked. It just don't want to move it.
All my ballscrews are lined up very straight, there is no binding any where.
I guess I will try putting a scale on it and see what I come up with. This sounds like it should be a good starting point, Thanks Jerry
