What type of speed controller do you have installed?
If it a ABB a fl2 is a dc bus overload. That means either the drive is absorbing to much regeneration energy from the bridge when it slows down, or the incoming line voltage is to high.
What is the incoming line voltage to the machine, each leg to ground? L1.L2,L3 to ground.
Also what is the voltage between each of the 3 phase legs?
If these are normal, you may fix this by increasing the decel time on the drive, call me for details on that.
Or.... your gear box may need to be replaced as that is what we realy on to slow the machine.
Hope this helps. Call with any questions

Thanks Mike I will check it out MONDAY MORNING thank .Mike
a lot of older pdq's have corrosion inside of a motor's electrical box. a lot of times, the screws that hold the cover plate on the motor will rust away or will get broken when someone tries to get it open. this allows moisture to get into the connections. A leaking inline swivel may be letting a lot of water into the connection box on a motor, causing a freq. drive fault. Look closely at the rotate or trolley drive motors. if you pay attention to where you find the lazer stopping, you should be able to determine if it is a rotate problem, a trolley problem, or a bridge problem.

We had that happen to us 1st time it was low air in the tires. Then it was
the rail was worn so it made the tire spin and would stay in one place on the second pass so we bought the paint with sand . put the on the rails and put new tires on it has never happen again. But we do keep putting the sand paint on the rails about every 3 months. We was lucky that it wasn't the speed control
Good luck

Thanks for input but everything runs fine but all of a sudden laser stops get error on abb speed controller.No run on.I see it stop But thanks for input.On one of my lasers I have diamond plate on rails on the the other I bought a quart of bondo car repair and a 1/4 tile 4in wide trowel in tile department mixed as instructed put it on rails not lenght wise but across rails.it will last for years.Paint and sand I used to do but same as you had to replace constantly.
Can be done in winter as long`as rail heat is on Thanks for again.Good luck

Does it power off having the same problem except for it's blowing the 24 relay fuse so it's pretty much lights out in the jobox
