Noise when lifting cutting head

General Discussion
1

Hi - have now had the Droid for some time and still marvel at what it can do. One unintended feature mine has is that it makes a squawking noise when it lifts the head to commence a new cut. The noise is coming from within the main body area - not the arm.

Has anyone else experienced this and what is the fix?. Thanks

Yup common with some of the older units
Quick fix go to
Settings ->Machine Settings->Max Acceleration-> Change the Z value to 25
Next go to Settings-> Machine Settings → Driver Current-> Change Z value to 1400
Early defaults were a little aggressive and depending on the torch head you have it may just be struggling to keep up speed wise

If the problem persists give us a call

Thanks Andrew, I changed the first value from 30 to 25 as you suggested. The second value was at 1400. Unfortunately it made no difference. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks
