    Cool Machine quit working

    I built a large CNC, the motor controllers are G203V at 80 volt. The BOB is C11G rev 8.3. The motors are 1200 oz.

    I had all 3 axis working, the movement (inches per inch) was not yet correct but they were working correctly (left/right, up/down). I decided to reroute a cable to a safer location, after doing so the motors worked about 4 times then a single strand of wire I had not noticed shorted to the frame and the motor with the short when I press the arrow keys (left or right) always rotates CW. The other two motors do not move.

    Have I shorted out my Geckos or have I shorted out the BOB. Is there a less expensive way to fix this?

    Thanks in advance,

    Robert

    You can send the drives back to Gecko, and they'll test them and fix them for free if they are damaged.
