CNC12 and Rotary problem

Where do i troubleshoot next.

Set up new rotary along Y chuck pointing Y-. I have had to restart multiple times but got the A axis to home now and was able to get through all the calibrations. When I go to jog the A it will move a couple inches and then stops, but shows on the screen it is moving. I have checked all wiring, made sure the bolt was tight on the servo connecting the chuck and proximity sensor was correct. One thing I noticed when it did move was one or two clicks on the handheld would move the A rotary a few inches before stopping. once stopped would have to reset to get to move again. Am I missing a setting. any trouble shooting ideas would be great .

I am running 5x16 with cnc12 and servos

update: after reading another post that I needed to switch number 8 to off in the control box.

I was still getting a driver fault. the chuck seemed pretty tight so took the servo off and double checked everything. Not sure, but put everything back together and rebooted and now it works. Running an air carve now. Wondering now if I am not getting enough power to the rotary, because when power to the servo, I can move the chuck by hand

2nd update. ran for 30 minutes on a carve a faulted out. once faulted out we lost a axis all together in the cnc 12. Had to go back into acorn wizard and make 3 axis machines again and then making a 4th axis profile again since loosing the options. I do know computers are all on the operators but I am not impressed, especially what was paid to purchase.

 

Get in touch with support. This could either be a mechanical issue or an electric issue. They will help you troubleshoot.

Eric, I really appreciate your help earlier in trouble shooting the rotary earlier. I did start the rotary job back up and was watching really closely because due to the fault codes being turned off. It did run for about 30 minutes and the A axis stopped. I shut the carve off, looking at the servo, I was getting 5 orange flash’s and the servo was really warm. Both pin connectors were still tight. Do you think this is also stemming from the board issue we talked about earlier.

Thanks

Yes, I believe this is a bad servo board. We’ve already got one heading your way, keep an eye out for a ship notification.
