Re: plasmacam dhc heigth control motor z axis
Start with where you are located, and what software is running your table. You say you have a DHC. Are you sure you have the correct cables attaches tot he gantry and carriage motors?
This should be moved to the PlasmaCam forum.

Re: plasmacam dhc heigth control motor z axis
The problem you describe can be caused by a bad winding in the motor or a bad connection to one winding through the harness. (assuming the controller isn't malfunctioning which is possible but uncommon)
Ohm the motor windings - they should be ~353 ohms each and have no continuity to ground. If that's OK, ohm the harness or look for broken wires/connections. There are some good instructions in the video manual for troubleshooting the Z motor if you have that handy.
