Hello everybody,
I'm almost on my 3 years mark with my IHSV60-30-40-48 integrated servos, they always served me well, lot of torque and power, awesome finishes and huge MMR (for a CNC router obviously).
Only one thing has been bothering me a bit, whenever i remove power, the machine goes in alarm or i push the E-STOP, the two servos that move the gantry X axis jerk a bit, each in a different direction from the other. This doesen't happen on the Y or X axis(Correction, it did happen on the Z axis a few times, causing the endmill to be plunged in the material for a few mm, this confirms that the movement is done under servo power somehow, and not by gravity, as the amount of plunged mm seems to have been always the same in the few occasions that this happend).
Now, i've always been concerned on how LinuxCNC manages two servos on one axis, expecially for homing, as during the homing procedure, they seem to move differently from one another.
I've checked the gantry, and it's square to the axis, so no twist that could put the servos under load when homing, tension that is released when the servos gets unpowered. Another confirmation of this is that sometimes, the X axis doesen't move when removing power.
My thought is that it could be caused by bad tuning maybe, but i'm now sure if it's plausible or not.
Do someone have any thoughts?
