Transistors
Submitted by admin on Sat, 01/20/2007 - 02:34.One of the axes makes noise but does not move. What is wrong?
While watching the mechanical counter for that axis, repeatedly single step the axis. If the counter steps once or twice and then jumps backwards, you have a bad power transistor on the driver block for that axis. If more than one transistor is bad, the counter may not move or it may just wiggle.
