Lowering the speed
We have a ShopBot bought in 2006.
The machine starts okay, works well but at some moment its speed is lowering.
We operate with a speed of 25.4 mm on the axes x –y. When the fault occurs, the speed showed in the control panel is 25.4, but in reality is much smaller. As a result the normal route changes. If I stop the machine from the program and give it JH command, the machine never returns to the initial zero point.
If I start the same program, the anomaly always occurs in another place. Very rarely the program does lead to the end. As a result I am producing more waste.
How long lasts the anomaly is different : Sometimes is like a flash (it just feels like a shock – and here the deviations are almost unnoticed) … sometimes takes a few seconds and here are significant deviations ( sveral centimeters ) and everything is compromised.
The anomaly occurs randomly, on the movement only on the X axis or only on the Y axis, or only on arcs (ie on both axes).
What I’ve tried :
--Restart – NO RESULT.
--I've reistalled the operating program ( Setup_sb3_4_24_PRTalpha.eve ) - NO RESULT.
--I replaced the Shopbot.ini with another one saved when the machine was working well-NO RESULT.
-- I've turned off any other equipment to not introduce distortion - NO RESULT
ASSUMPTION: the laptop is from 2005, the one that was delivered with the machine. It moves very slow. It may be this (one of) the cause(s) ?
I’ve installed the operating program on a laptop much more efficient, but it fails to see the machine.
Can you help me with a USB driver that will help me see the machine ? The new laptop only works on preview.
Do you have another solution to help me ?
If it does help, I can send pictures of deviations and of the problem.log file
