I've had my CNC Shark Pro Plus for about a week and a half and am already having problems. When "jogging", the Z axis responds randomly. I can click and hold "Z +" and it will ramdomly move up or down, sometimes both during the same click and hold. I've also had Z axis problems in the middle of running a program. Somtimes programs will run correctly and sometimes the router will plunge into the workpiece at a depth greater than the program calls for, ruining the workpiece and snapping the cutter.
Has anyone experienced any of this?
Any information is greatly appreciated.

Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
I have not heard of this one.
Is this consistant or just happen now an again?
If you want you can have us test it out at the factory.

Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
It's weird. It's not like the commands are completely and consistently reversed. When jogging for instance, if you click and hold Z+, it may go up with no problem. Most of the time it goes up then down then back up like signals are getting crossed.
Does this sound like a loose connection?

Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
you can try moving The X and Z cables and see if the problem moves to the other axis.
But I think it might be a problem with the driver board.

Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
Which would mean I ship back the controller to you for testing?
Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
I switched the x and z cables. It just switched the problem to the x axis.
Re: Malfunctioning Z axis
That would be a controller issue.
Contact us on monday and we can arrange for shipback.
