How are you checking the table to find it is low in the front? Are you sweeping the table with an indicator in the spindle or is the indicator stationary and you are moving the table?

The first thing you need to determine is the speed of the press while applying the 10kn force. That will tell you what size servo motor is needed. Then I think you need to know the frequency of...

Nice video! Those turned out great!

Did you add the "#" to the front?

I looked at the logic on a newer Robodrill D14LiA5 with a 31i control.

Red is connected to Y0023.0
Yellow is connected to Y0023.1
Green is connected to Y0023.2

You can view the ladder logic...

Gotcha, I could have used some help with a Haas control a few months ago. Give me a few days I'll come up with some documents that should be able to help. What control version is on this robo?

It shouldn't have a plc in it, its just a dumb light stack. I just setup a robodrill with a 31i control that involved adding some logic along with custom alarms and m-codes to the PMC. Finding the...

This job has been awarded, thanks to all that submitted a quotes.

I'd like the following parts quoted, they are all 1/2" thick Hot Rolled Steel.

Does anyone have the software for an EzPath 1? I have the original disks but they are corrupted, weird, you think they would last 17 years! so if anyone would like to e-mail them to me that would be...

Found the problem, the brushes in the Z Servo are worn out, and apparently shorted out on the armature which damaged the drive. the motor has been sent to be repaired and a local retired machine...

Hello,

I've got a problem with an ezpath 1, it starts up fine loads bmdc but when homing the machine it hangs for a second then says "[power on] Failed" then flashes "Axis drive fault" repeatedly...

Is it a bridgeport or a clone mill? I got mine from rockfordballscrew.com
It is a 42 not a 54 You'll probably have to call then but I'm sure they can do it. My 9X42 kit was right at $700. Also...

Is there anyway to load more than one file at a time? I've got 126 MasterCam posts if you want em'

That is how this thread started. I'd be willing to try one but not for $350. maybe take the 3 off of that...and I dont own any bt30 tools.

The base is a cavity but I've never had one high enough to look under it, so I'm not sure if the cavity extends under the bolt holes. Pallet jacks can come in handy but I think they cost too much and...

correct me If I'm wrong but on the Bridgeports I've seen (quite a few) the holes in the base are not tapped, they are just Thru holes. So I don't think pulling it up to the carrier is going to work....

I'm looking for a good source of spindle bearings, 15 Degree Angular contact ABEC7 medium preload, 7207 I believe..... Not necessarily a set specifically for a Bridgeport but some the right size. Oh...

box ways are better for heavier cutting as they dampen vibration better, due in large part to stiction from their large surface contact, most heavy Vmc's use box ways while high speed machines use...

I've used cam for an Ezpath SD (the last version made) without any problems, I used feature cam, but really the Control is conversational and so easy to program you don't need to cam it. I think I...

Thanks Al, I've got .6 ohms so i guess I can rule that one out, while were here you dont happen to have any revelations about my problem in the other thread by chance? :confused:

What kind of resistance should I have in an encoder cable? More specifically A high end industrial cable with amp connectors, I'm having problems with a shakey axis on a bridgeport ez path that may...

Its not an R8 from what I can tell as it has drive lugs, maybe bt30 or nst30? some ez traks and many clone mills use a similar spindle taper.

I checked it out today, but found nothing, all the pins & connections were good and all wires had continuity. The tach wires, or what I assume to be the tach wires (Xi+ and Xi- on the schematic) ...

$1375 delivered? I'd say that a pretty good deal, It looks really, really clean for a 1966ish model. I'd check the ways for wear first off and then the spindle bearings. you'll have to power it up...

I ordered them online, same price as you said, $696.43. :banana: I guess Monday I'll find out if they still have any. I'll probably order the Rockford bearing kit too its not a bad...

I am going to call Rockford this week to get a quote for 9x42 Bridgeport screws, How much were yours? And more importantly how is the quality?

Thanks, I'll have to check the wiring out.

Just out of curiosity what does the drive use the tach signal for? can't it determine speed based on encoder feedback?

An ezpath I run at work frequently has a shakey x axis, The "bridgeport" repair guy thinks it needs a new servo motor, which dose not make sense to me.:confused:

It used to shake constantly a...

could you post some pictures?
Sounds interesting to say the least, a micro mill table on a bridgeport....like some sort of parasite?:) just kidding though I understand your logic. small parts,...
