I'm having at your suggestion now, Scott. It's such an intermittent condition it may take running a few files to know......but I did find a fix in a help section that claimed, "fixed" after I...

On an intermittent basis, sometimes before running a file and sometimes during the running of a file, the monitor screen goes black and the monitor logo pops up. This has been an intermittent...

Tom, excellent clarification. One thing I really was not clear on is that the spindle is a 3ph motor. That really helps my understanding of what is going on with the spindle power setup. As to what...

I have been able to get the motor spinning in the "right" direction by changing motor leads around but now have the vfd programming fouled.
Works great in "local" but when I move to "remote" the...

Tom, My system is a single phase system but I think I understand that the vfd is actually a power converter....I thought it converted single ph to
dc but maybe there is some 3ph in there somehow?...

I just gave the "restart after reprogramming" a try with no success. Interesting that the "proper" direction for the cutters is the "Rev" direction on the VFD (Yasakawa V 1000). I set the VFD to...

I have a 4hp single ph spindle on a new "standard". I found that the spindle was turning the wrong direction and was able to reprogram the vfd to the correct rotation direction. But when I switch...

I just wanted to complete the loop here and thank everyone for the help. As it turned out the new computer I bought to run the Bot was running in compatibility mode. When we set it to run straight...

Thanks for all your help, Jerry.

Here are three screen shots that don't look good in that they show SB on port 3....I just can't figure out how to swap them around. I moved the location where they are plugged in in the back of the...

I think I captured the screen shop here:

Ok, got SB off of port 3 but not sure how to move to a different driver.

Working through a few conditions in usb view, I see "ShopBot" in usb 3 port 3 which sounds like a no no, but I can't seem to get "ShopBot" out of port 3.

Jerry, I got in there and disabled the multi core support, ran an air cut of the surfacing file and got the same problem after a pass and a half. I haven't done the other tasks you suggested yet but...

Thanks for more good suggestions to try, Scott W. It sounds like several little things can add up to a bigger issue. The vids I posted are all from the desktop that seems to be the problem (Brand...

Thanks, Ron. I'll give your suggestions a try. That is correct, I'm not plugged into usb 3, but will swap some things around to see if I can get the Dell Inspiron 3647 to run the Bot. I did get...

Air cut of the surfacing file complete! No glitches!! :) I'll cut for real now and see how it goes.

Randy

Scott W: Your suggestion of running another computer is appearing to be an astute call! I'm running the surfacing file right now and have gotten deeper into it (about 10 min of run time) than...

Oacket ET = 12......I think it was 17. something yesterday when I checked.

Shake/rattle and roll!:rolleyes:

Great idea, Scott. I'll head out and try my laptop now and post back. SB does seem to be interested solving the problem which IS encouraging! :-)

....and this is the gantry moving with the pinion running as shown in the previous clip:

I hadn't thought of youtube clip,but this is what the pinion looks and sounds like when running in "problem mode".

Hi Scott, First, thanks for the time you are spending helping me with this. It's pretty lonely out here at this point, so I really appreciate your input. The video looks and sounds nothing like...
