What is the reason for probe basic vs pathpilot? What is the footprint of the machine?

I'm interested,

Holy Crap,

Just checked in looking at a GO704 info and I see a pic of Hoss, wow, looking great there buddy. I miss the commentary and write ups on the forums from you. Glad you are looking and...

Been a few busy still weeks, but UC where do you type in "qc" in motion mechanic. Here's a shot of motion mechanic at start up on terminal server. This is where I first learned that I could send .plt...

Success.. sort of....or 2steps forward and one back.

Got some help from uncle, thanks man!! And got windnc to go active from the pendant, but no files could be seen. Played around with the...

Anyway, mx-32 or jobserver for some reason won't let the controller activate DNC and I still can't see files to be run. So either I'm missing some program set up on the computer or the signal that...

So a huge thanks to Maurice, we got the setup thru a keyspan 19hs USB. When motion mechanic in terminal mode I can see the router boot up, so the controller is sending a signal, you can see in the...

Ok, I've walked through this on two different xp laptops, my serial cable is soldered correctly, and the controller will export through send file a test cut file the only file that goes is an hpgl...

Bolts---both serial ports? There is one on the front of the control box, I haven't looked at the boards too closely, due to the way they are attached, but I'll look...

Neal and uncle c---I didn't...

Ok, I made a cable to the multicam specs, removed pin 1 and 9' in a null modem the chassis ground is pin 1 and 4 to 6 so just in case that was, seemed to make no difference.

Mx32 lists an error,...

I don't have any input that would help you, but I'd love to see some Picts of your machine.

That's cool, did you have any problems with the spindle control?

I was thinking the same thing, as Boltz. You've offered to help several multicam owners, have never posted any solutions, and are asking for manuals, etc. I know a thing or two about export control...

Thanks newlife, I'd like to get it going without modifying it, but if I can't get it to connunicate then I'll go that way, I'm more familiar with how to use Mach 3 operations and offsets. Do you...

Getting frustrated, can home and start spindle. Multicam serial connection pin out appears to be identical to a null modem serial female to female connector but I can get the controller and computer...

So we have power, movement and homing.

That was what I was wondering, about that x1. I thought I saw somewhere that the vfd could take L1,L2, that worries me a little, I could always power up w/o spindle hook up to see if it boots up and...

Neal, the Columbo spinde and has the following drive labeled EMS PC3-22p2. On the side label the following specs are listed CIMR-PCU22P2 SPEC 22p2n1, input 3ph 0-230 vac 50/60hz 12.1A and output 3ph...

Ok, so doing some research, if I go single phase I can use this hitachi drive to run the Colombo spindle, but the question is X1 transformer 220 3ph to 220 1ph? If so this would be easy, otherwise...

Thanks, Widgit.. I thought there were multiple parts needed, but the digikey cat that I was looking at was so confusing.

Way back here Wigetmaster, where did you get these connectors in the 3rd to last pic. I have these on my auction find router and want to use some more for other connections...

Thanks, Matt

Here are pics of the pendant. No z height probe came with it, however the 4 prong on the upper right has a single wire so that maybe the trip. I have the manuals, but would have to...

I remember struggling to make wires for steppers and for limits long enough, wish I had thought to do it this way.

Z-axis head, I wish that I had thought of this on my first build.

The electronic cabinet is almost 5 feet long.

So I was going to build a larger format cnc router when this one fell into my lap. It's a 3ph220v machine with no controller computer....

This is the 65 v ps.

Here is the diagram for x1 abovehttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161003/e2754dde8461676eb8b49627abb369f7.png and for the 65v power supply....

So I purchased this sf series router at auction. It was in service prior to removal but the control confuser wasn't included, so I was considering retrofitting and running on mach3/4. The control...
