Hi
I finally finished installing Roger`s Machine interface card to
monitor following errors.
http://www.rogersmachine.net/encoderinfo.html
I was running a relief caving and thought I was doing fine. Two
hours of machining with no following errors. To my surprise the part
had a error and I was unable to save the part. The cut rate was 55
ipm. I was using a following error of .025.
I`m not certain how to solve this problem ...I`d appreciate some
help.

Mach3 Motor tuning
X Servo 1110 oz*in Vel = 163.8 No gear reduction, linked to a 5 tpi
ballscrew
X Accel = 7.65
=========================
Y 1200 oz*in Stepper Vel= 117
Accel= 17
=========================
Z Servo 360 oz*in Vel 82.8
Accel = 3.15 3 to 1 gear reduction
==========================
The X and Z Servos share a 24 volt power supply. This PS has a
maximum amperage rating of 10 amps. I`m wondering if the motors
can`t draw enough amperage. The current pot on the Geckos is set to
about 75 % of its maximum. I have two power supplies in the control
box
One is 62 volts that run my Y axis stepper. I`m wondering if could
take my 1100 servo motor and run it off of my 62 volt 15 amp power
supply. This might allow all the motors to see more amperage if
that`s the problem. The servo has a max voltage 90 volts. I`m
thinking I could safely run the 1100 Servo on the 62 power supply.
