Hey John, hey Kenneth @cruser56,

have you grounded your chassis and all moving parts of the machine?

@Aiph5u

just as an example, a problem like shown on the picture below, which shows a short between stepper cable and CNC chassis due to an assembly fault, did only produce the correct Motor Error on Controller Display when chassis was grounded. Or when magnet of touchprobe was brought into contact with the rail. Without this, it remained undiscovered.

E.g. this issue was only discovered after properly grounding the frame. Without that, it remained undiscovered, but led to axis positioning errors (as you can imagine).

@Aiph5u

…on a machine that is assembled by the operator and that is a class I device, it’s the operator’s duty to comply to IEC 60204-1 and to ground and bond all moving parts individually to comply to safety regulations.
