Hi folks.
I have an older Wells Index CNC Mill with a Sharnoa Tiger 3 controller. It ran great when I put it up a few years ago. Called it back into service today and the X axis is acting very weird. Everything on the machine works as it should except the X. I can jog it, but have no real control over it (it jerks, jumps, traverses, etc) and the readout on the screen doesn't change. Y and Z are fine and their registers change as they should. The encoder on the X was replaced a while ago, maybe 10 years? and looks to be in good shape. Should I be looking at the encoder, control, or the drive motor, and what should I be looking for? I wish I had the money for a retrofit. The iron is in impeccable shape, the controller not so much. Many thanks!
