Hi i am having problems with my cnc its missings steps alot when i jog the machine sometimes its fine for a sec then misses steps on all axis tryed adjusting them still same problems i dont have cooling on my conroller could this be the problem? thanks
You'd first need to provide more info: What kind of controller What stepper drivers What motors What machine Current setting on stepper drivers Power Supply Voltage
conroller : sparks concept xpro stepper drivers :unsure i am new to cnc stepper motor: 1.80 stepper motor ldo-57sth56-2804a150820LDO ox cnc 1500x1500 setting on stepper drivers :unsure new to cnc Power supply voltage :220v Hope this helps i am a little stuck
How far did you turn the stepper current adjustment potentiometers? halfway? All the way? (full scale = 2.5A, so whereabouts did you set it? Halfway = 1.25A, 3/4= 1.875A Anything above 1.5A would need a fan blowing on the board
your on the limit with the xpro with those motors without heat sinks and fans Taking a second look at those stepper motors they are not great, holding force is 12.6 kg-cm (1.24nm or 175 in oz) Imho for the size of machine (1500x1500) its very under spec'd I would go with 4 drivers (DM542 or DQ524MA) and some steppers over 250 in oz - on the x and y, psu wise 24 or 36v anything over 350w (14 amp) there a bit more pricey but Meanwell make some decent power supplies Control wise you can go the mach3 or grbl route If you look on the ooznest site you can see the pic's with the 2 fans over the xpro board OX CNC Full Kit | Everything For A Hobby CNC Machine
