"Axis" Errors Stopping Production in CNC Machines
Precise machining depends on the perfect synchronization of the servo motors in the X, Y, and Z axes. If you see Axis Limit Error, Following Error, or Servo Alarm, one of your axes cannot follow commands.
Main Causes of Axis Errors
- Excessive Mechanical Friction: Unlubricated ball screws or jammed linear guideways cause the motor to draw excessive current, prompting the drive to stop the axis.
- Encoder Position Loss: Dirt in the encoder or a broken cable prevents the CNC from knowing the motor's exact position.
- Drive Hardware Fatigue: Weakened capacitors or IGBTs in the servo amplifier prevent the motor from producing enough torque.
