    Re: Centurion 6 homing procedure

    Thanks - I was thinking this might be a simple matter of me not doing something that I should have been doing so I didn't want to bother Bob. I ended up calling him and he got the problem sorted out...

    Re: Replacing Partner 1 Brushless Servo Amps

    Finally back working on this machine again. Got the Z axis up and running (both the z and y need more tuning) after replacing the servo motor. So now that things all move, I thought I'd try homing...
  5. Re: Centroid CPU10 encoder connections - Replacing Servo3IO with Acorn

    Actually, I have not had any more trouble with the controller since putting the lamp in the cabinet - I also added fan in the shop that runs all the time to keep the air moving - so far so good - the...
  6. Re: Centroid CPU10 encoder connections - Replacing Servo3IO with Acorn

    Last weekend I had some parts that I needed to run - the mill did it's usual stunt - start the program and anywhere from a minute or two into the run the spindle would just shut off - hit the feed...
  7. Re: Centroid CPU10 encoder connections - Replacing Servo3IO with Acorn

    I upgraded the motherboard and went to the latest software revision a couple years ago. Only difference is that I kept the Compact Flash card. I did manage to clone the compact flash card to a...
  8. Re: Centroid CPU10 encoder connections - Replacing Servo3IO with Acorn

    Thanks for pointing that out - I had not looked that closely at it yet. Still gathering information at this point. I did sent a message to Centroid but no reply yet (beyond the one from cncsnw). I've...

    Thanks for the information - that will help a lot.
  10. Centroid CPU10 encoder connections - Replacing Servo3IO with Acorn

    Finally looking at replacing the Linux based Servo3IO and CPU10 DC servo drive in my Ajax DM45NC mill with something like the Acorn. I looked at other controls but am pretty comfortable with the...
  11. Re: Looking for info on buildyourcnc.com board

    Yes! I got it off ebay thinking I would use it for a future project but have it stashed away. If you have any info on it I would love to have it.
  12. Re: CNC10 (Linux) Z axis dropping over run time

    Ok - tried to check this out and had some luck. I will make sure I have a printed copy with me next time and see if I can get better results, but so far I think the encoder may be flakey - want to...
  13. Re: CNC10 (Linux) Z axis dropping over run time

    I may be running it again this afternoon (if I can get to my shop! I has been raining all night and all morning - may have to swim!). I ran it yesterday for a couple hours and could see about a .005...
  14. Re: CNC10 (Linux) Z axis dropping over run time

    Control is Centroid Servo3IO DC running SEMS MTS30U4-57 brush type DC servo with brake on the Z axis (factory setup - this is an Ajax DM45 NC mill). I do have some backlash in the Z axis - was...

    Re: CNC10 (Linux) Soft limits?

    That helps - I hope to install some sort of limit switches in the future so the homing should get better - this is an Ajax cnc mill, factory installed cnc control. It had homing marks on the x and z...
  16. CNC10 (Linux) Z axis dropping over run time

    I am a hobbyist and use this mill for hobby uses so it seldom gets ran for long periods of time - I made 9 parts Sunday that take about 30 minutes each to run. At the end, I noticed that the last...

    CNC10 (Linux) Soft limits?

    I am running a CNC mill that has no limit or homing switches - the control board is the Servo3IO. I see it has terminals for limit switches but I have not yet figured out how to mount switches on...

  20. need to remove inoperative 4th axis dc drive board

    I have a mill with the Linux version of the Centroid control. It has a 4th axis driver board on top of the Servo3IO board. I need to disconnect and permanently remove this board. It has 4 fiber optic...
  21. x axis not moving - blown fuse shorted FET

    I have an Ajax CNC mill with a Centroid all in dc control (Linux version). Hit the end of travel on the X axis today and suddenly the X axis is dead - will not jog - nothing. Started digging and...

    Been away from this project for quite some time but finally worked on it Saturday. I was able to get the Y axis servo up and running. Had to swap the phasing of the Hall sensor wires to get the motor...

    Re: Router bits or collets

    I agree - here is a sketch showing the dimensions of the ER 11 collet. Hopefully you have a set of digital calipers that you measure your collets with and see what the dimensions are. If you don't...

    Re: Router bits or collets

    I'm going to throw a couple things out here - first, if your collet stays in the spindle cap when when you unscrew it, I'm going to guess that you have an ER type collet. Most of the 800 watt...
