Torchmate axis motor only goes +

Post by Redneck »

My TM3 started acting up today....the Y axis would only jog to the +, .......even when clicking on the -. The motor went + no matter which way I told it to go. I reset the controllers, checked the wiring and it worked ok for a little bit, so I tried cutting a small piece, and about half way through, it took off the wrong way again. In the middle of cutting a hole, it took off and the cut ended up looking like an "S". So I wiggled the wires and checked everything I could think of and tried again, then when jogging the other axis that had been working ok, it started growling and stopped after moving a few inches.

Anybody have any ideas, other than the controller it toast?
