Hello All,
I have reworked my home build machine to include ball screws and motors on each side of the Gantry. Everything seems to be working smoothly.....
My concern is .....What happens if ONE of the motors stalls. The gantry then
racks and could cause damage. Is there any type of feedback circuit that would "sense" a motor stalling or stopping and shut the machine down as if I hit the E-Stop.
All 4 motors are Nema 23 425oz 1/4 inch drive shaft being driven by a BOB and 4 drivers. X and A are slaved in Mach3.
Thanks
Art
