TLDR- I realize i need to wire in an output to the vfd using a relay to run/stop the vfd/spindle, is this relay bank going to work, and how does it all fit together(not sure how all the wiring

What? Making it difficult to actuate at the same time? Lol
Is there a way to keep a controller from moving back outside of the hystersis? When homing my y& slaved a axis, one axis moves for a moment longer than the other (moving away after contact). It's...
Hello,
I'm configuring the software and am having some trouble with setting ports and pins for homing and limits. When I set the pins for homing under each axis, if I click "apply setting" it clears...
Has anyone used these in conjunction with mechanical limit switches? Have the hall effect on one side of the axis for homing, and the mechanical at the other end? If you were to do this, are you...
I was looking for a more 'bullet proof' option as an alternative to the HY chinese vfds. Seems that the wj200 is a pretty common suggestion. At 340$ its pretty pricey at a hobby level.
I was...
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying about the washer. But I do understand about the paper shim and will give it a shot. Place the shim between the flange and ball nut mount.
Thanks for the tip
I appreciate any ideas you guys have!
In the attached picture you can see how I have the machine setup. What you are seeing is the long (y) axis (slaved). On the left side of the picture you can...
So I finally got it mounted and aligned to the best of my ability. I've got it to the point where I can turn it easily enough by hand. There is about 6 inches that it gets a little tougher, but I...
Thats something I was wondering, I'm interested in these switches as homing switches, but I'm also curious because I want to put them on my slaved y axis to correct for any racking that may be...
Hey guys!
Hoping to learn a few things ball screw related from your guys today.
I just got my screws yesterday and mocked one up quick to see how they were going to look.
Check out this vid on...
Any chance of getting these picture from you? I can reupload them so the links dont break
Nobody?
Just wandering if having the flange on the other side is best, or affects the way the ballscrew gets machined
The attached image is how I designed my machine, last night I saw another machine with the orientation reversed (the flange on the opposite side).
Is one way better than the other? Will mounting the...
Hi ger,
Thanks for the reply, what is your opinion on the reduced resolution by going with 10mm pitch? Is your thinking that the theoretical res. Of 10mm about .002" vs .001"(5mm) negligible once...
I bought my rails from Anaheim automation. Tbi motion is the brand. Taiwan made. Seem to be very nice. I found them to be more cost effective than hiwin. Supposedly made by the same manufacturer as...
I have a machine that is about 50% built using 80/20, 3060 gantry etc... Pretty beefy (to me).
the machine footprint is about 42x60 w/ a cutting area of about 30x48. The y axis (dual ballscrew) will...
Thanks for the reply,
Why would Lenze rate it at a 2.2kw vfd if it wouldn't work to the full capacity? My thinking would be that would only bring troubles to their front step if they advertised...
Hello,
I don't know a whole lot about vfd's and have read more than a few places that buying a home sourced vfd of better quality is the way to go! I'm about to pick up a:
Lenze ESV222N02YXB571...
To be honest, I haven't really set a 'goal' for rapids. As long as I can do around 150ipm I'd be happy (I don't do many cuts over long distances). So that's roughly 762rpm. When I mention 'critical...
Hi Ger21,
I'm following up with math (scary). Found a good site that showed how to do some calculations for stepper sizing (calculating inertia etc..) I started doing all the calcs by hand then saw...
Really? I was under the impression that alot of larger machines used the g540. Although I haven't seen a ton of ball screw driven routers that are larger.
The long axis will be dual driven if that...
Hello,
I'm building a machine with an external footprint of about 1500mm x1000mm (see picture). I was reading up about ballscrews and the factors that should go into making a decision. It seemed...
I was a student teacher at a school with a similar machine about 2 years ago, i got theirs running again. I recall having to mess around with some parallel/serial driver settings at the windows level.
Yea that all seems to align with what ive read elsewhere, thanks for mentioning your experiences with aluminum. Good to know that the no preload/normal still gives a decent finish (obviously the...
Is medium preload recommended? I think the sbc bearing he uses, like he said k1. K1 according to sbc data sheet is normal, and k2 is "light".
Good to know that you can find them on ebay, do you...
Even if the place is noted as a supplier on tbi's website? Z0- no preload/normal
Z1- light z2- medium z3-heavy
Do you just change out the ball bearings? Where do you get these from?
Ok, thanks. I believe youre right. Z0 is normal with z1 being slight preload
Are the tbi blocks you use z0?
Thanks!
