Hi Folks,
A few years back I had electrical noise problems like crazy, shielded all the cables, checked all the grounds etc. Then someone recommended a line filter like the one shown in the photo below. Like magic it fixed the problem and has been running 100% reliable for the past several years..
This past week I started adding some more stuff to my machine ( which is a Router with Mach 3, Warp 9 ESS, 2.2kW spindle motor and VFD). I have added a handful of switches, a couple of solenoids, a stepper driver and motor, etc in an effort to add a tool changer to the machine.
Now I have electrical noise problems again and am getting these two issues:
1) Random External E-Stop requested being reported by Mach
2) Random, very short moves on some of the axis.
Before I rip everything out to get back to pre-modification state, I am wondering if these (see below) line filters can go bad over time?
Thanks for any and all help and or suggestions!
