Is there a way to test the function of a 3 phase AC servo without buying the appropriate drive?

ie - if I introduce 120v across two motor terminals to see if it'll spin will I destroy anything?

I bought a King Industrial KC-20VS which doesn't include a stand.
I have a wheeled machine base that will support a rectangle 14.5 x 21.5 inches.

So what is the ideal size for a stand G0704...

You sir, are the man!

All the critical dimensions match, and I'm sure I can cut a flat into the mounting flange to match the one I currently have.

I actually picked up this mill from MTW...

Hi everyone, I have a chinese mill that looks like the smaller brother of an RF-45, but the motor that came with it is toast. I'm trying to source a 3-phase replacement but I don't know too much...

I bought a manual mill from MTW, and would recommend them without reservation.

GPIprototype - lyfordln isn't telling you he doesn't trust you, he's quoting the error message that windows gives. I don't know what software you used to create the model, but by default Windows 7...

For anyone who is interested - I purchased the MD003+ from Paul at MTW, and while I haven't run the machine yet (as it's still in pieces from the move to the basement) I can personally attest to the...

p.s. I'd love to see more photos when you get it up and running!

So, to be clear, as long as I don't go over the maximum voltage, I can use literally any voltage I want to drive a stepper motor? I ask because I have a bunch of mismatched, salvaged motors and if I...

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I had the same problem. So I e-mailed ISEL and was provided with the attached spec scans.

Now my problem is I still don't know what voltage to drive...

I've been given permission at work to go through the Solidworks tutorials. I've done about 5 of them so far, and find it really interesting.

Budget? Cheap is good, free is better :O)

I know...

If nothing else it's a damned interesting read.

I apologize if this is overly broad, but I am new to CAD/CAM, and very interested in the Tormach mill.

What I really want to know is what software other Tormach users recommend for CAD/CAM and...

I'm taking a nightschool course for CNC machining, at Humber College.

I've spent some time trying to find a machine operator job, and keep getting the same reply "Sorry, we're looking for someone...

Hi, I'm interested in both CNC machining, and manual machining. If anyone within driving distance of Brampton is interested in mentoring, or has an apprenticeship opportunity available, I'm...

Nobody, eh?

Sadly the job situation seems to be the same, can't win for trying.

Hi everyone.

My name's Ian, I'm 24, live in Brampton, work in Mississauga, Ontario. I'm fascinated by machining and manufacturing, and I'm interested in learning everything I can.

Hey Flip_Ston3d, you're using CNC Simulator for the same thing I was. And you've hit the same problem. There is a paid version of CNC simulator that unlocks these functions.

I got around it by...
