Mill had not been used for a few months and was working fine. Newall Topaz two axis .
I turn on the DRO and the numbers are jumping all over the place. Digits flickering, jumping from 0 to -12653.0174 instantly, etc.
Sometimes I can find a spot where it behaves normal, but moving any axis will cause it to go nuts again.
Manual says this behavior can be due to a bad ground, so I add a ground wire in specified location and check continuity with machine and metal wall boxes. everything is grounded with no change.
The scales are protected by aluminum angle and the problem started after months of NO Usage, so its not dirty scales.
Any suggestions what else to check?
