If I scope the line, with one scope input on voltage and the other on a current probe, I should see the voltage go to full V...
I will call Automation Direct and see if they can steer me to the drive gain since they sell the driver. It is a I have a scope and can take a look at the sine wave for distortion. Any particular...
Since I am seeing an overrun condition at times, it is likely not a binding issue I believe
If it was the steps I would not be seeing an over run and an under run condition. Also it would be magnified when I command it to go 3600 (10 turns)
Would you expand a little on how to increase the drive gain as I am not sure what parameter that is in the configuration file. I am using a Shopsabre and the following are the settings in the...
I added a rotary axis stepper unit to my existing 3 axis all servo machine. The problem I ma having is that the rotary will not accurately repeat its rotational position. If I rotate it 3600 deg (10...
Generally speaking ....good advice. But how else will I get my thrills if not by watching something fly apart before I could see how it was put together in the 1st place!
I see what you mean, I don't see an obvious joint to disassemble it.
Tormach advertises 3/4" in. of travel for the tapping head with the modular tap holders.
I am trying to figure out now what the tension adjustment on the holder actually does. It seems that it...
Thank you. That was exactly the explanation I was looking for to better understand the dwell. I noticed that the default in Fusion 360 is a zero value for the dwell. I also read that PathPilot will...
I am using the Tormach Tension/Compression tapping head on a Series 3 PCNC and noticed when tapping my first holes in 1/4" thick steel with a 5/16-18 tap that when the spindle retracts , it is...
I contacted Tormach and they are changing the post to do M1s rather than M0s and will send it to Autodesk.
I noticed when I run the code from F360 on my Rapidturn, the program is forcing 2 "cycle start" actions between tool changes. Easy fix right....turn off optional stops. Didn't work so I checked out...
I hope I can describe this well enough to get an answer. I have a BXA quick change tool holder from my large manual lathe that I want to use on a Tormach RapidTurn set up on my PCNC1100 mill. I have...
They had a few in stock when I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago so they must be popular.
I wanted a CNC Lathe and am just plain out of room in my garage. I have a large manual lathe that I am...
Just received my RapidTurn and it had 2 issues (so far) and 1 that may become a problem:
1) missing pin/key for the collet. I had a roll pin on hand and installed it myself
2) bad inductive sensor....
I am having problems setting the x/y zero in the different WCS's (i,e, G55, G56, etc). I can change the WCS by typing the G55 command for example, but when I hit the "Zero X/Y" button, it is...
Thanks Brian and Mike, The ctrl shift X works. I appreciate the feedback.
Pat
still no luck with the key combinations to gtet out of PP to a command prompt. I'll search the forums to see if anyone has had any luck with other key combinations
I could not get the desktop to load for anything. Then I remembered I had switched to a wireless mouse since the last PathPilot update when I used to be able to get to the desktop using the shift...
Thank you, I will try it
After updating to 1.9.8, I went in to change the .hal file with the calibration mods and now I cannot get the pathpilot to enter the desktop. Did I go crazy and can't accomplish what I was able to...
Thanks Scott, I will give the path a try. I considered that may be necessary but wasn't sure what the proper format for paths was in this OS. Looks like fro your example that it is rather...
I like the new capability in v1.9.8 to have comments that open a picture file. The only problem I am having is that the pic file (i.e. jpg) needs to be stored in the same folder where the g-code...
for those using the hal file for their mills, don't forget the strip off the "mod11-" from the beginning file name and the ".txt" from the end of the file name. The 11 calibration points were from...
Just tried it and it solved the problem. Thanks. The lincurve function must be altering the format of the "motion.spindle-speed-out" number that is input in some manner if it needs to be converted...
Just saw your reply and will try it with the abs addition
Thank Brian. I just read the code for the lincurve function and see how it works . This overall approach implemented to recalibrate the speed curve merely takes the native...
Do you know how I can get the spindle to reverse through the full range, preferably without losing the new found spindle speed calibration using the lincurve implementation.
Thanks,
Pat
