Is there any settings in Mach3 that would cause my servos to all power up to there limit switches when turning on the spindle in mach3? Thanks. Robert Brown. Thinking that the 2.2 vsd was just too...

I bought a ZhongHua Jiang vfd and spindle, installed it and when powering up, it activates all of my 3 servos and they move to the limit switches. I have even isolated the spindle and vfd away from...

I built my machine, topic of the build is posted. My machine uses Adept slides and have ran many programs with success. Until now, I have not needed a spindle, as I was only using a drag knife to...

Here is what happened to me after purchasing a 20 watt laser on Ebay. Tried many times to load EZCAD2 software, would only go into demo mode. Also got can't find dongle warnings. Finally the people...

I turn on the machine and one relay, top of the 3 relays, I assume it is a drive relay, keeps clicking in 1 sec. intervals and the x axis moves about .002 inches every time it clicks. Also a red led...

Yes, since the Lagun motor had an extended shaft on top of the motor, I added a pulley and a belt to the treadmill motor, works good. Bob.

Thank you for your knowledge and I appreciate it. I guess that If I ran the same parts all of the time that I would need a home position, but I don't, and everything is fine now with the new...

Why would I need home switch routine? I have limit switches to keep from crashing my servos. Every job that I do is at a different place. Bob.

I am using MasterCam for the cadcam program and a post from the Mach3 website. Now that I have corrected settings in Mach3, it works fine now. The only thing that I notice is that when I run a...

Thanks Kev, I did and checked the boxes that you have checked and now it works as it should, just how I like it. Well, at some point, I will have to get smarter than the machine. I think with these...

That is correct, I have no home switches, just limit switches. Bob.

Thank you, this will help. I have already looked at the settings page and already see some settings that are different, so I will try them. This will be very helpful and thank you very much. I...

I agree with you. I am going to have to hunt around and find the setting that allows me to do that. As it is now, I can push all ref. all day and it doesn't reset machine coordinates to 0. So, I...

Thank you and the only difference with yours is that mine would be 0,0,0, in the workspace. Then I proceed to my program. I can live with the way that it is now, but would like to be able to...

I thank you, but before I do that, could you tell me in config and settings what you have checked in the DRO section please, or if you could send me a picture of the whole settings page, that may...

That is what I thought, but there must be a setting that has ran amuck, because when the machine coordinates are not set at 0,0,0, along with work coordinates, when running a program, it will takeoff...

OK, it works now, and when I boot up, both machine and workspace is 0,0,0,, but when I move to another spot and try to ref all zero, it doesn't work, so when I jog to a new spot, I have to get out of...

OK, here is how I set 0,0,0, with my Anilam controlled mill. When the machine is booted up, it is at 0,0,0. If I want to change the position, I can manually change x,y, and z, zero out all 3, load...

I have an Anilam 1100M controller and am trying to figure out how to set part 0. I switch back and forth between incr. and abs. and nothing happens. I might be reading the programming manual...

The estop and limit switch triggered warnings have gone away. What I did was isolate the HV circuit and installed a switch. I isolated the computer and monitor, with a switch. I also isolated the...

OK, Sergey, at KSi labs, answered my SOS and made me aware that there is 115vac to the brk. board. The way that it wired now is that when I power up the 144VDC, the 115vac is also powered up to the...

I am running Mach 3, with KSI labs Centipede, Granite devices VSD-E drives, 3 axis homemade router, with Adept slides. What I have tried to do is make sure that I don't have the HV power on until...

Everything is fine for now, must have been overloading one plug and loose wires on the caps, ok for now, Bob.

Remember I said "so far", well I go out and ran a successful program, jogs worked , everything worked. I go out an hour later and after Mach3 is booted tried to plug the HV in and nothing but sparks...

OK, thanks for all of your help. So far, I have had no runaways since I make sure that I am into Mach3 page before I plug in the HV supply, I hope that solved the problem, so a switch will be...

Now we are talkin. Here is one rated at 35 amps, overkill but will work. I will try to get a picture of it here. Thanks, you have made my day. Bob.379642

I want to leave the Red estop switch like it is. Beside it maybe one just like it for the HV. Would it even require a relay? Yes, feel OK wiring, as long as I have a schematic, after all I wired...

What type of control-relay circuit is one push button switch, push it once and 115vac come on and push it again and it goes off. I could mount it side by side and then If I had to hit them both. ...

OK iget it, the control voltage to operate the relay. I don't have 24 volts, I have a power supply that is 10 to 12 vdc, if they make one like that. Bob.

Thank you, what is the coil voltage of my system, 115vac, or signal voltage, like 10vdc?, Bob.
