Not that I have an answer for you but what controller is on that machine?
I don't know if you ever got this figured out but I had the same issue. In quite a few different threads, machinetek suggests removing the BMDC board and cleaning all of the contacts with a pencil...
I might be interested in buying some parts from you. What Drives do you have?
My VMC 1000/22 with DX-32 controller is having an issue. Any time the spindle stops I get an alarm "SPINDLE NOT UP TO SPEED IN TIME". It doesn't matter why it stops, whether it be manually, for a...
got myself a 30hp converter and it is working top notch.
Did you ever figure this problem out? My machine is doing the exact same thing.
I just picked up a 98 VMC1000/22 with a DX-32 controller. I have been looking at phase converters trying to decide what size I might need. I have a friend with a similar machine running only a 15hp...
I am weighting my options on upgrading my CNC from a converted Harbor Freight Mini Mill to a PM-30. I like that you can squeeze extra y travel out of the 30 and that it has a decent sized belt driven...
Peter, what size machine are you planning on building? I'm shooting for 23" x 17" x/y and a z axis 20-23".
Much to my girlfriend's dismay I have been laying awake at night scheming up a new machine to increase the chooch factor of my garage. Something sturdy in the stance and spinny bits. I am tired of...
Sooooo I got these lil fellers today..
Not a bad idea. I am planning to upgrade my steppers on the router first. The start to miss steps over 150 IPM anyway. I was thinking about buying a set of steppers for the mill build then upgrading...
I'm attracted to these screws because the machines they come out of fall into the range of travel I would like to accomplish. Maybe I could get away with 750-1000w servos? The vf2 has a 30 hp...
Does this machine have long travels? I considered doing something similar on my router to get higher travel speeds while keeping my screw rpm's low to help combat screw whip and keep stepper rpm's in...
The ballscrews were replaced for preventive maintenance. They appear to be in good condition based on the pictures I have. I am going to meet up and take a peak at them tomorrow night. He acquired...
A guy in my area is selling some Haas vf2 ballscrews for a really fair price. Maybe I'll check those out this weekend.
I think you guys are right about two important aspects here.
1) Steel is springy stuff and transfers a vibrations as good as it does any other energy.
2) build volume: go big, or go home.
To...
I agree! Fortunately I spent nearly ten years as a fabricator in a shop that rebuilt locomotive engines. The vast majority of my responsibilities included repairing major structural damage in engine...
I just 3d printed them instead of buying some. It was fun ????
Good evening all!
I am planning out my next project and have decided I am building the rat rod of vertical machining centered.
First I was considering buying an X2 style mini mill. I then spotted...
I have messed around with V6 in the past and prefer it myself. I will try adjusting the tolerance when I get home tonight and see if that helps I'll let you know and thank you for the advice.
I can only get a decent toolpath out of the parallel finish function. If I try to use the parallel roughing operation I get anywhere from a 2500-10,000 minute long toolpath. It takes an hour to...
apparently the drivers have and LED optical trigger. The resistors leading to those were burned up. Must have been a power surge of some sort... not sure how, but all of them at once is a pretty...
I have a buddy who is just shy of brilliant who has given me some insight on the inner-workings of these drivers. He also offered me some advice on how to test their various circuits and components....
Ill see if i can just set up an arduino nano to move the stepper with smaller 3d printer drivers or get a nema 17 i have lying around to move with okne of the dq542ma's. I had to of fried mu drivers...
I tried wiring step/dir terminals both positive and negative. The crazy thing is I had it wired + step/dir to arduino and ran a jumper from -step to -dir and left -enable unhooked with 5v to +enable...
About a year ago I built a router table. I used extruded aluminum for the frame, an ebay stepper kit from Wantia, a watercooled 2200kw spindle, and an arduino uno knock off running GRBL and Universal...

Ok sorry I know that all sounds obvious but it's good to check did you make sure the VFD is properly set? I had to check out some settings on mine. They were correct but the instructions were pretty...
