Great...what kind of machine is yours? You said you will have 3 available by the end of the week? Please send me a private message with price/shipping costs.

Thanks!

Here are the handwheels I am looking for?

Anyone have 3 extras?

Thanks!

I will take a picture later and post.

Thanks.

Gary...thanks for looking for the handwheels. Getting hand wheels in general isn't real difficult but these hand wheels have a jaw on the face which makes them unique. Do you recall if yours have...

I just purchased a RF-45 Clone and a the hand wheels for the x and y axis were damaged. Today I called a few places to locate some spares (Enco, Grizzly, Lathemaster, Harbor Freight) and it was more...

Had some time to think about this. If the program is asking for Pitch in mm. have you tried converting module to DP(in mm) by using this formula:

number of teeth/pitch diameter (in mm) = DP (in...

DP is the number of teeth in 3.14" (PI) on the pitch diameter. Since PI is constant and unitless I am not sure it matter whether it is metric or not.

Did you try converting the Module to DP?

Harry,
Thanks for the post regarding your research with timing belts. My goal with this project is to improve accuracy as much as possible. However, this being said, I realize that there are some...

I was looking at the GT2 with Carbon fiber and my biggest problem is that I need to change my pulleys to use the GT2 belts. What I am trying to figure out is worth the effort since my pulleys are...

I am building a CNC router using two 48" long Tolomatic belt drive actuators for the x axis. The actuators currently are using 1" wide 5M HTD rubber/fiberglass timing belts. After my initial tests I...

When I run my router I need to slow my rapids to about 100 in/min (depnding on my ferror value) so that i don't get a joint following error. I am puzzled by this since when i am in the Step...

This would increase the load on the Gecko and power supply which would probably cause problems.

After much reading I was able to get everything working using the EMC2 gantrykins module which...

I am working on driving my x axis with 2 servos using Gecko 320's for each motor. I have been using the EMC2 Stepconfig program to set up the axis/pin assignments. I have tried assigning the pin...

Thanks for everyone's help! I was able to find a qualified supplier to make my parts.

On a side note...I spend my days working for manufacturing company and understand the pressures of...

Attached is a print for 2 gantry plates I need for a CNC router I am building. Here are few details.

Material: 3/4" 6061 Aluminum Plate (I will provide)

Only outline of the shape, pockets,...

Thanks for the help. I was able to get everything working. It turns out that my power supply for the encoders was not the issue but I had the step and direcion wires crossed when I wired up...

I had the step and direction wires mixed up and it now seems everything is working as it should! :)

I am having trouble getting my Gecko 320's and US Digital E5 encoders working togther. When I first turn on the drives the fault lights are on and after a few seconds they turn off and the drives...

I read the Gecko directions (again) and realized that my encoders consumer more power than the drives supply. Gecko lists the 5VDC supply to not exceed 50mA. The US Digital encoders require 57mA...

Well I tried a few things and if I unplug my encoders I can get the motors to speed up using the test feature in the Stepconfig. (I have to estop to stop the motors). So I am fairly confident that my...

EMC 2.3.1

I am have tried jogging the axis using the arrow keys (x & y) & page up and down (z axis). I also tried running some of the sample programs that were included with the software.

I just put together my controls and am having trouble with getting my motors to move. The motors are "singing" which I believe is good. The breakout board and computer seem to be communicating. The...

What a great feeling! No smoke!

On a side note, I noticed that when the power is off to the power supply I still get about 2.5v through the 5V leads. This seems unusual to me. Am I missing...

I added a 10 Ohm 10 Watt resistor between one of the red and black wires. Adding this load to the power supply keeps it running once I turn it on.

Thanks for all the info!

Looking at my power supply the +5VSB output will supply .8A.

I had thought about this but since the power supply came mounted in the case with wires ready to use it just seems too easy. (Famous last words!)

I tried turning the power supply on by shorting...

I am putting together a CNC router and am using a server computer case for my control enclosure (Servo drives, Breakout board, & DC power supplies). Originally I was hoping to use the computer case...

I am using pulleys for reduction. The motors are rated for 90V. I am will be running them with 68V power supplies. From there I assumed there I assumed I would not run the motors past 80% load. This...
