Gerry,
I just want to let you know that I now have Mach3 working with my ncpod, and my spindle speed is also controlled by Mach3 via a DC-05 DigiSpeed-nc (digital to analog converter) driving a...

Gerry,
I just want to let you know that I now have Mach3 working with my ncpod, and my spindle speed is also controlled by Mach3 via a DC-05 DigiSpeed-nc (digital to analog converter) driving a...
I'm sure it works well, however I need a control that can read G76 threading cycles, and something that can control a large lathe with an auto tool changer. I still use Deskcnc to control my small...
I am actually switching to Mach 3 as they seem to be further ahead in the lathe control, and the support forum is huge. I like Deskcnc for its simplicity though I must admit.
Thanks Gerry! Thats likely the problem then. There is very little information to go by on the ncpod and so I just set them up the best that I could with the information that is out there at the...
Yes the ncpod section of the support forum is very quiet it seems.
Actually I can't even make Mach3 work by itself. Do the ports pins etc. have to be set up properly in order to make a simple jog...
I just installed Mach3 for use with an ncpod/g320 servo system. The problem is that I can not even run a simple program or make the jog buttons change the dro readings. My problem seems to be with...
I could live with electronic hand wheels if there were one for each axis (not just one wheel for all three), and if the z was more like a hand lever which moves the spindle a large distance with one...
Yes, I can appreciate making due with what is available, but in a machine shop where time is money, it is not a realistic solution, especially for repair work and one offs. Also, drilling deeper...
Would anyone be interested in an mpg type quill lever with pressure/vibration feedback (feel). If someone could make such a thing it could potentially turn some 3 axis cnc milling machines into...
I don't see that chip anywhere, and reading up on the 23000 series controllers I don't think my unit has this option. Oh well, thats life. I should keep my eyes open for a controller with tach...
I have a feeling that controller is similar to my Minarik, only with tach feedback capability added. I should check, I think maybe my Minarik can support the tach feedback also, which would be...
Yes, thats the type! How well does your bandsaw motor setup work? I also am using a universal motor directly driving (no belts) my little home built cnc mill spindle and it has served me very well...
Hello,
Has anyone ever tried to use a dc series motor as a servo by adding a low count encoder. The reason I ask is that it may have great potential as a high speed spindle drive with tight speed...
Wow, you mean to say nobody has Deskcnc controlling a lathe for single point threading?
Hi Vacpress,
You may have figured something out by now, but I would like to share with you what I did with my 1.75 hp portercable router on my home built cnc which works perfectly driving a...
Hi Mike,
They are usdigital E5D 1000 count quadriture.
Thanks,
Frank
Ok thanks Mike. Thats nice to know!

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to use differential encoders with G320 servo drives? Even if it means using the dif. encoders as ttl encoders if that's possible.
Frank
Hello,
Does anyone have a lathe currently working for thread cutting using Deskcnc? I would like to here about your setup and how well everything works.
Thanks,
Frank
Yes, I guess I should say something over at the yahoo group also. I'll check it out!
Thanks,
Frank
Hi Bob,
I'm glad that there is at least one other person interested in this concept. I really don't want to have to wait forever for Mach/grex to get something happening. I understand that...
Hello,
I'm just wondering if anyone is using Deskcnc or Mach3 and a servo drive to control a dc servo spindle on their cnc setup. If so, I would really like to hear how well it works for you and...
Ok then! Has anyone used Deskcnc 2nd generation card to control spindle speed and direction on a dc motor spindle with encoder feedback, if so how well does it work and how easy is it to set up...
Thanks Tom, I will connect switches to the 24v supply for each driver.
Thanks also for fixing my r990H drivers under warranty, ...they are working great. Great customer service! Looking forward...
I too would like to here if anyone has had success disabling the rutex drivers?
Frank
Has anyone ever used a linear axis for rotary spindle control. I have a deskcnc 1st gen. controler on my Hardinge lathe conversion. The a axis is already being used for a rotary tool changer. The...
The problem with that board for me is that it won't work with the Mach3/G-rex combo and likely not with Deskcnc which I need to run my high count encoders.
Frank
Yes, of coarse everyone is entitled to an opinion. As far as clamping a part on the other side of the vise that just happens to be the perfect size, well it's just plain inconvenient even if you...
This is all very encouraging. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled, meanwhile I'm still waiting for the new Rutex servo driver with dro functions that is supposed to be in the works. I'm not holding my...
It seems like it's three steps forward and two steps backwards. It's amazing what they could do 10 years ago with old technology, and yes I really hope grex or someone will do something.
