Yup, SureServo from Automation Direct would be my first choice.
Blown fuse?
Failed encoder?
Forget the MPG, not needed. There are 2 inputs on each stepper driver: 1 Step bit, and 2 Direction bit. Both are digital inputs. You can run these with 6 outputs from the PLC for 3 axes.
If...
I used 1.5:1 on mine. Been working fine for years. 2:1 loses too much torque, 1.5:1 is about right and gives you a good speed range. I run mine at about 10 to 90 Hz.
I can answer this one, having done it. I ran my lathe spindle with the same motor and a VFD for a few years until I upgraded to a servo motor. I just bought a sensorless vector capable VFD of...
I normally bond all of the V- wires to panel ground. The exception to this is a non transformer isolated direct rectified line voltage servo power supply, grounding the V- on this would be a dead...
Rather than run a Bore operation, make the same cut with a Contour operation with the Ramp check box checked on the Linking tab. Around a 2 degree ramp. Should give you about the same tool path,...
You might try a 3D 'morphed spiral' and the 1/8 bit.
The Onlinestepper T6 Servos seem to be step & direction only, so you should be able to use the same control as you were using for your steppers.
Do's
Follow the instructions in the documentation...
Normally torque mode works well.
Install the motors on the machine.
Mount the drives in your electrical cabinet
Wire the drives to the motors, power, and your controller per the documentation supplied with the servo system...
Servos are good :)
What Craig said
0.75kW or 1kW servos would be my choice. Much better than closed loop steppers.
I think this might be your problem
N50 G1 Z2. F3177
Try setting F = 300
I'm surprised your machine is not walking across the floor at 3177
From the post format, it looks to me like you...
There are so many possibilities here it is difficult to know where to start. And I am just guessing here due to the limited information provided
Mechanical
Backlash or binding
Overloading the...
I think Karl may have hit on the over current issue. The acceleration might be a bit high. On the other hand, I understand that hard acceleration makes for better cuts in a plasma system, so...
The mill motor runs on 230V, 3 phase. Input to the transformer would be 230V and output would be 115V. You would not measure across the input to the output.
Has this mill been running or is this...
Assuming you are using Fusion 360, uncheck Ramp on the Linking tab for that operation
You may have a problem there. It looks like the +/-10V input needs to be a differential input, the Galil only outputs a single ended +/- 10V command signal, with a differential signal as a factory...
I think you want the camera to maintain an angle of 0° to the vector angle of the X and Y axes. That should keep the camera pointed in the right direction.
The The G code command would look...
My current prefered vendor of servo systems is Automation Direct. They carry both the SureServo2 (Delta) line, and the slightly less expensive LS Electric servos line.
...
One thing you have not told us is the type of machine. Is this a turning machine, milling machine, mill/turn, or some other type of machine? There are many control options available, but it depends...
For a complete rebuild the price seems OK. Labor is expensive and this is a time consuming job. It really depends on what condition your machine is in.
But that is not the route I would take. ...
In the hobby class controllers, I think only Dynomotion has a 16 axis board. https://www.dynomotion.com/Kogna.html
Max for the others is 6 axis I think
It depends on the exact red cap spindle motor. Look at the data tag, if it does not say 'Exite Perm Magnet' and 'AC Servo Motor' then it is most likely a standard(ish) 3 phase induction motor, and...
I researched this possibility and concluded it was more cost effective to remove everything from my machine that said Fanuc on it, and replace it with new controls and servos. Depending on the Fanuc...
That error would indicate that there is communication with the Galil.
I don't have any experience with CamSoft, but about 25 years experience with Galil products.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that your fixture offsets are not correct.
I assume you are machining electrical enclosures.
There have been times I wished I had a horizontal machine to make the cutouts on the sides. The most economical way you can make those side...
