  1. Re: DYN4 and following error. How are you handling it?

    FWIW, I have used the DYN4 drive and servo in +/- 10V analog control using a Galil card for four years now. They work great in this application. I did have a huge learning curve getting them tuned...
  2. Re: Baldor TSD DC Servo Drive replacment... something newer???

    I really struggle with tuning and always end up asking for help. Jim Dawson saved my a$$ last time. there is A LOT of great tuning info on the Galil website.

    On the ref in, you may have the...
  3. Re: Baldor TSD DC Servo Drive replacment... something newer???

    no, I would put one supply on each amp, separate. You will get far more efficiency if you got to the max voltage allowed.

    You have a Z axis? Need to see you machine but maybe this could go with...

  5. Re: Baldor TSD DC Servo Drive replacment... something newer???

    Yep, 12A8 is what I use on two machines. Especially the mill moves a lot of steel, but i do not use out of this world accelerations. IMHO hi ACs just tear things up, you are not going to get any huge...
  6. Re: Baldor TSD DC Servo Drive replacment... something newer???

    I don't have any that big. WOW, why so big for a plasma table??? I move a milling machine and a lathe with much smaller ones. AND you over trip that??

    For wiring I will share the Hardinge. Look...
  7. Re: Baldor TSD DC Servo Drive replacment... something newer???

    I really like the AMC servo amps to go with Galil cards and DC servos. I have several on the shelf to sell if you are interested.

    I have both a CNCmill and a CNC lathe running these amps with...
  8. Re: Can Mach4 send basic Galil Commands to the Galil Controller? Like SH or MO, etc?

    I know its not cheap but Camsoft is the control to use with Galil cards. It is build specifically for this.

    I have used Camsoft over 20 years now on five machines.

    Re: Chattering Marks

    Your machine is not rigid enough for that cut. Try less DOC first, less feed. One trick that works for me is to use inserts made for AL. They actually have positive rake and less cut force. do not...

    Re: AC servo recomendations

    I used DMM's largest servos on my Vectrax CNC mill rebuild a few years ago. The machine works great.

    I used them with a galil control card in +/- 10V analog mode and had a few learning issues. I...
  11. Re: Can I control a Fanuc servo drive with 3rd party controller?

    This is a color code thing - red on servo is proprietary Fanuc - useless for upgrade. the problem is with their encoder, otherwise its an AC servo.

    Yellow on servo means its a brushed DC unit....

    let's look for the simple stupid stuff first.

    Re: Defiance VTX-1 retrofit

    20 years ago, I got a Mazak M4 (20"x72" - 16,000 lb dual turret) lathe with a camsoft control. The original refitter got it running but did a poor job for reliability so i got it for a song.

    Re: Looking to buy my first CNC for metal working

    There is no one size fits all here.

    The tormach would be WAY to tiny for me but might fit your needs just fine.

    yep, that desktop is pretty much just a toy.
