Just to update the topic, I thought this info might be helpful for other newbs.
I spoke with shop sabre and they explained that there is some sort of sensor that will trip the servos if they are drawing to much current (ie:if the is too much resistance to travel). So we lubed the ball screw, cleaned all the saw dust off and starting running again. We had the problem again a few weeks later and again I call good old tech support. Our conversation revealed that we do not have a air balancer on our machine to help the z motor out when it comes time to lift the big 10 HP spindle. They offer the add on kit but it is a little out of our budget right now so I am going to build one with some constant force springs and some aluminum brackets. This should help a lot and hopefully we'll be cutting again soon.
