I'm not having problems with the control I'm having problems with the amp chassis...as far as I can tell. I had a runaway axis which followed the servo amp board (glentek). I've been able to jog both axis but I get (sometimes) an amplifier fault which prevents me from moving the X or Y axis ( I removed the offending runaway amp card). Replacement amp board is approx. $1000.
I'm not looking for a new control and if I was I'm sure your control is probably more than the cost of what I paid for the whole machine.
I' not competing against the Chinese for business. I'm just a hobbiest/tinkerer
with a few ideas I want to turn into reality. |
Is it possible that a bad tachometer feedback is causing the run away axis?
I know if you disconnect it on other machines the axis cannot sit still, if it thinks it is getting a constant signal, it might run away trying to catch the tach.
Of course I could be completey wrong
