Well unfortunately I don't have many details, but here goes.
*The machine is an old K2 model, but the drive units have all been redone with leadshine servo and servo drives.
*Three axis with ball screw on Z, racks on X and Y, and dual drives on each leg of of the Y axis.
*Mach 3 controller
*CAM via fusion 360
I was 'cutting air' prior to cutting a profile for a planer stand I'd designed. I heard an occasional rough moment during this operation. I repeated several times and rough movement occured randomly in different areas of the operation. I considered VFD noise/interference then turned the spindle vfd completly off (at the breaker). Still the problem would reoccure. My next step is to redo the wiring, as the company who had the unit before me did a poor job of wiring the retrofit. I have run the unit a fair amount over the last few months without any problems.
Here's my ask, what else should I consider checking, grounding . . .????
