The westamp servo's could be tuned and setup to travel at a reasonable speed, although I don't know too many people doing that. The westamps work by taking a voltage between +10Vdc and -10Vdc and...

That's a huge servo motor. You might consider trying to get that going, replacing it will be expensive.



These are also quite big. You might try dmm-tech.com (I have no affiliation). I had...

Path Pilot is LinuxCNC with some lipstick on it. I don't use MasterCam, but for HSMXpress, I pick the EMC post processor and it works for me. Maybe Master Cam has a LinuxCNC or EMC post processor...

I have a 30069-75 westamp servo in my Anilam Crusader M and was wondering what the current ratings were for that drive?? I can't seem to find a spec. I do have the specs for my motor and started a...

Hmmm, on a side note, this post says that the -75 for the 30059-75 part number is the bus voltage: ...

I have a converted Anilam Crusader M to linuxcnc and I was looking at the Westamp Servo amplifier and I'm not sure which model Anilam put in the machine. I think it's a 10amp cont/22amp peak, but...

I think this is the manual you're looking for:

You'll have to sign up for access to it, but the manual is there.

Here is the manual in one piece: Supermax YCM-16VS Manual « ijohnsen.com

Let me know if you have issues downloading. It's not that 'smooth', but I'll try to work it out when I get a chance.

Thank you - Mark

My YCM can be found here: http://www.ijohnsen.com/blog/?p=92

I'll try to put up the manual in one piece if I get a chance, but having issues with the size, similar...

What you're asking about is often referred to as position maintenance for steppers. Make a move and then adjust at the end of the move. My only comment is that if you overshot your move, position...

If it's a shielded cable (I don't have a mill like yours) make sure you connect the shield through the connectors like you would one of the individual wires. You want the shield to ground back to...

I've been following your thread, great stuff and fun to watch.

The Ground serves two purposes that I can think of...

Gary,

I'm a little bit familiar with Lexan, PETG, and Acrylic. We've used all 3 on different applications at work.

I'd recommend PETG because of the cost (less than Lexan) and more durable...

Hi,

I saw your thread on the rigid tapping w/ the tormac several years ago! Tried to PM 97T, but your messages are full.

Did you ever get it to work? I've been looking into and looks like...

I think the position aspect out of a VFD is exactly your problem. From what I've seen, VFD's handle speed well, but not position. Think of pumps, fans, and speed control.

To control position,...

Ken,

Thanks for the feedback. I have read you thread on 'New IH on order' in it's entirety and several sections of it more than once. Good Stuff.

I'm tending to agree with you, spending $20K+...

Have read the thread about 'Return my money.' I think at this point, I am willing to wait. So might be a good fit.

I just looked at the Haas and Fanuc online and they are a thing of beauty. Ebay has 2 haas mini-mills for sale. Fantastic machines.

Found another: ...

Thanks everyone for the response. Your feedback is pretty much along the same lines as I've been thinking. The example part that I posted is the toughest part I can think of at this point and will...

I'm considering buying an IH mill for prototyping in mostly plastic and aluminum. To help pay for it, I might be able to get some work doing various production runs in plastic for a company I know. ...

Sounds like you already have your motion card, but Galil Motion control (I don't work for them) has a software product, G-code to DMC. Not sure how it works. The other option is Mach 3 (arcsoft). ...
