Hi,
After a few successful jobs, I've had an issue with my 6040. On rapid movements from one job to another, the X axis sort of stopped suddenly, then carried on and started cutting in the wrong place. Am I right that this is a stall? It sounded like what happens when I run into a limit switch


I've been reading this thread here where someone has the same problem and although in the end his solution was to change all the electronics (I'm considering it possibly), I'd like to try the fix that was suggested by lowering the velocity.


My setting are:
steps velocity accel' step dir
X 320 3000 200 5 3
Y 320 3000 200 5 3
Z 320 800 100 5 3


It was recommended in the thread to try:


steps velocity accel' step dir
X 320 2000 200 10 5
Y 320 2000 200 10 5
Z 320 800 150 10 5




Is it just a case of plugging those numbers in and trying it? Or is there some maths needed beforehand?






PS. I tried the same job "run from here" after it happened, but each time it started moving to the next toolpath, it stalled. I fixed it in the end by post processing that particular job in HSMExpress on it's own. It seemed happy then.
