Machine keeps stopping?

[piper1]

To be honest Lee i think i should invest in a decent USB cable, i had to buy an extended on to reach the computer and didn’t pay attention to it needing ferrite rings on either end.
The USB cable is pretty exposed to several other cables between both the machine and computer, but i will move it to minimise any interference.
Lee do you know of anyone within the North west that does service router machine?

Thank you
Kev

I new it ;-)

A decent USB cable can help but if you can move it away from the other cables you may not need a new one, remember you've had your machine working fine at times, this tells us the setup has potential.

No sorry I dont but we have members all over the UK so you could put up a request in the Projects, Jobs & Requests forum.

Did a couple of test runs this afternoon, one with the spindle running and one without
Both ran the exact program, same length of time etc and not not a glitch in sight.
Both test ran flawlessly, i was so made up.

The only thing i did in the hope to remedy the fault with the machine stopping during programs was to move the USB cable away from any other possible interference's (cables).

Going to run the same program again tomorrow with the machine cutting this time , fingers crossed.

Thank you for the advise Lee.

I think you said you said that you had an extension to the usb lead if so buy a new lead long enough the shorter the better. make sure it is a good quality one.

With an extension you are creating another joint

Going to order one on the morning Clive, cheers.
Keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrows test run.

Sweeeet!

Hopfully the next test works fine, Clive is right as well grab yourself a nice USB cable about the right length, you dont need to spend crazy money getting some gold plated, braided bad boy, something like this should do: Hama USB Cable Blue 5m

Keep us posted its nice to know when something gets fixed :)

Ran the third test this afternoon to confirm that everything was still working ok and it ran perfectly without missing a beat.
Still using the old USB cable until the new one arrive.
Managed to sort out a couple of ferrite rings so added them to the old cable.

Thank you so much to everyone for all the support i received i really do appreciate it.
