According to the guys at CNCRP, you don't really "need" the NEMA34 setup. I was running an older version of the NEMA23 setup that had slightly less power than their newer NEMA23 version. It was a...

On the contrary. The NEMA34 is an absolute beast for this setup ;-)

The kit that I received was built specifically for either system (NEMA23 or NEMA34) CNCRP has electronics setups that will match...

Just got off the phone with Cory from CNCRP. Once again, top notch customer service.

First off, I'd like to apologize for not giving enough information about my setup (feeds/speeds - rapids -...

Hey guys,

I recently installed a brand new NEMA34 electronics setup on my new machine, and all was going well for about 24 hours. This morning, I was running an operation that consists of around...

That's a good point, Ahren. I should have made it more clear that I started with the new XML file, but was taking settings from my old controller just to start things off. I managed to get everything...

Looks like I posted a bit too soon. Ahren from CNCRP gave me some info with which to figure out this problem.

Thanks, Ahren!!

Hey guys, I am having an interesting issue here.

I purchased a new 48"x24" (reversed) machine setup, and was previously using an older NEMA23 motor setup with limit switches on the Y axis, X axis...

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that I just needed to remove the M in front of the M300 for the custom macro. My bad

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

I believe this assumes that I load the g-code every time I want to run this file. Basically, I have to hit "load g-code", then find the file, then hit the run button on my controller. Then, if I want...

So, I'd put this into a text file? How would I assign a button to that program?

For example, the XBOX controller has options for custom macro#1, custom macro#2. The box next to "custom macro#1"...

Hey guys,

I use an XBOX360 controller to jog the machine around where I need it. However, if I want to get to G0X0Y0, I normally have to type it into the MDI and press "enter". I do this several...

I appreciate the info, Ahren. Sounds like I need a motor upgrade if I want to run at these speeds. What exactly is involved in upgrading the motors? Would I just need the motors themselves, or would...

Hey guys,

I usually contact CNCRP directly, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue.

I just built a new PRO4824 setup (Actually, it's 24x48 - I requested that the X-Axis be...

Thanks, I'll do that.

I use Fusion 360 to create all my g-code, so Fusion is putting that in there. There may be a setting in the post process or CAM setup within Fusion that I need to check or...

Ah, I see what you meant now. I was looking at the wrong page. I'll make sure those are off as well.

Yes, all other settings in that section are turned off.

Here is the first bit of g-code from one of my ops.

G20
G28 G91 Z0.
G90

At the moment, it's set to G64. I did have the setting "Stop CV on angles > 89 degrees" checked, though. I will uncheck that and see how that affects my work from now on.

The strange thing is, I...

How would I be able to tell which setting the machine is curently using? I was doing some reading on this, and it appears as if G64 would be the way to go, but I'm not sure how to go about using it...

At the moment, they're all set to 1 second. The first value was set to 5 seconds, but I changed it to 1. Should I try different values?

Hey guys, this issue has been driving me crazy for awhile now, and I don't know if it can be solved.

Whenever my machine reaches a corner or any radius, the machine pauses for a micro-second just...

Hey guys, I'm having a weird problem.

I don't know if this is a g-code issue, or a Mach3 issue.

Whenever my operations begin, Mach3 moves my tool down a bit, then stops for about 2-3 seconds,...

Hey guys,

I have set up a new fixture for my machine that is designated as G55. This new fixture works perfectly once it's entered into MACH3.

The problem is, I load the G-code into MACH3,...

Why would L3 be a better choice? Does it make that much of a difference? Genuinely curious.

I don't know why I didn't mention that the ground pin wasn't being grounded. I should have mentioned...

Ground/L1/L2 as per pages 2-13 and 2-17 of the instruction manual.



Nothing else is wired in this system. It uses it's own circuit breaker.



Could you point that out in the manual for...

Just to clear something up here...

I wasn't trying to be rude in any way. I was just stating a fact, just in case you didn't quite understand my original post, or were confused about the VFD. I...

My VFD isn't from China. My VFD came from Automation Direct. It doesn't have letters after the fault. It only gives me an over-current message on the display.

a few things to note:

Hey guys,

I wasn't sure where I should start this thread, so I stuck it here. Mods feel free to move it if it's not the correct forum section.

I'm having an intermittent "Over-Current"...

Thanks! That helps quite a bit. I figured this out last night, but I did not know about typing into the MDI. I knew about the MDI and how to use it, but I didn't know you could just type the offset...
