Easiturn 3 loosing position

Post by skatz » Wed 09 Jan , 2008 22:10 pm

Hi All,

I have an Easiturn 3, every now and then the stepper motor seems to stick but the readout still moves causing it to loose position, any one had this problem before?

Thanks in advance

Are the ball screws and slides well lubricated ?

I agree - definately sounds like the stepper motor stalling becuase something is mechanically tight

Check for Backlash in the relevent axis as well.

It may be that the tab nut needs adjusting.
