Mach3 Drive Axis Fault, Everytime?

Post by knowlzy0791 »

Hey guys,

I was moved from the CNC portion of our complex to the weld shop and they had an intern stand in for my absence. I took back over yesterday and after cleaning up his mess I was finally ready to catch up the shop on orders and make the money.

Ran 1 sheet of parts just fine.

Now every time I try to run a program it will start, then at some random point in the program it will completely stop and prompt me with "Dive Axis Fault".
No matter how many times I hit Reset, or turn it off and on, or anything it will do this.

I have have gone through the obvious things like connectors being connected.

Any ideas was to what could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance!!

Update. Rapidly Hit reset to clear error (has worked in past) and it tripped the "external emergency stop activated" prompt. Will not go away and no external E stop is activated.
