Finally got the PlamaCam Gods to transfer the machine (41xxx). I'm not opposed to upgrading to DesignEdge, but I don't want to be throwing money away if the controller/motors are trash- I have...

Hi,
I've had the luck of buying 4 (3 used , 1 new) large ball screws for a great price. They are 50mm dia x 3030mm (120in) length, with 40mm lead. I am planning on selling 2 and using 2 on my...

So far, so good!

Hi,
As the title says, I need some help for my Dyna 4400 that I just got home. It's been halfway refitted with a CNC4PS C6 spindle card. However it came with some of the wires from the C6 card to...

Martin,
That first picture is the the same one that broke on mine. I live in Northern California behind the Redwood Curtain about 90 minutes from the Oregon border. Needless to say, it's very...

olfoundryman,
Those pics of the tees looks like mine. I've looked everywhere locally with no luck. Did you find the same type (3 female ends) or go to the compression type? Any part numbers? ...

So, what you are saying there is no Post processor to use with SKIP?

Hi, pgurendema
The spindle has to be changed manually with the spindle stopped as far as I know.
As I haven't gotten the machine home I can't say for sure about the bearings, but I believe they...

I have a 5hp pam-600 Static 3 phase converter and a 5hp westinghouse motor with a S.F. of 1.15. for my...

Thank You 2ferrous

At this time I don't have a Machinist vise. Its on the list.

I have a RF31 that I converted to CNC using Parker E-AC drives and steppers. But I wanted a Real CNC Machine. ...

What post are you using? I had a similar problem until I used the MachB post listed in the mastercam forum. Good luck, Bill

It turned out to be a 4400 with steppers:( I bid $1051 (sealed bid). So after I get it home prepare for some questions.:)

Hello,

I am looking at a 4400M (servo) thats been converted to run with Mach3. Its in good shape, low hours, with some tooling, but money is tight...

Also, the tool changer doesn't currently...

Hi, MPSP
I bought that exact board. It works fine, but don't go over 24v or you will toast it. Also cut their rated Amps in half if you want it to live.

I don't know the size of your lathe, but...

Hi, I bought the 3 axis Hobby Pro kit.
It wasn't too bad to put together after I looked up a good soldering guide. I used a 36V 9.7A power supply. It worked on the bench for several test runs...

Thanks for your responce Torchead.

After posting, I re-read the directions and noticed that you are correct, in that those are internal connections.

So what you are explaining is:...

After looking up more info, i'm thinking that Step- and Dir- equals ground. I hope i'm right, lol.:withstupi

Hi, I am trying to figure out how best to connect my Parker E-AC and VS31 stepper motors to Mach3? They have Step+ Step- and Dir+ Dir- connections.
The installation directions show 243 ohm res and...

My Hobby Pro Board quit while I was testing it with Mach3. With over a dozen succesful tests, this was the longest test todate, about 20 minutes into the program it quit with no warning. Now U7 gets...

Al, I got another guestion(s).
I just bought another servo, EG&G ME-5370-119C1, its bigger than my other motors, but I can't seem to find out what the Max VDC and Amps are and what the motors...

I was thinking the same thing about using an AC Servo motor off Ebay. Then I saw what they wanted for an AC Drive! Please post if you find one for a reasonable price.

Ok, will the DC Tach work as an encoder or will I have to add (renco) one? I have 2 small encoders that came of the same E sized Zeta plotter, would the work? This will be the base of my machine,...

I feel so like a noob, lol

Hi, I have 2 older servo drives out of an old plotter. Model MT 3151-018EJ. I'm leaning towards the Gecko Drives but I can't find what type of Encoders I have. I have been to CMCs site and downloaded...
