Hi, I recently purchased a Bridgeport Mouldmaster XP 1000 with Heidenhain 426/430, I am having trouble getting the machine started as it doesn't seem to respond to any sequence of button pushing.
I...

Hi Spumco....great advise...I will keep studying Linuxcnc ...lots to learn.
Yea no inconel to be cut on my machine....but my machine is definitely more rigid than a standard gantry router, and lots...

Hi Spumco,
I have been going through the posts here and checking out things myself.....sounds like if I take up your offer and replicate your system then it will meet my requirements.

Mactek54,.....Thanks for the Heads up...will look into.....tho at a later date I might be in a position to run software that is suitable...so theres no harm in educating myself about encoders or...

Just got a price from Omron on the recommended encoder and it is $968.00 dollars....out of my budget.
Sales told me because the encoder is Complimentary Output then that is the reason why the...

Maybe a little confusion here....the DC motor off the TM will power the belt sander with a DC power supply/driver.
The motor on my fabricated mll as shown in the pics will be an inverter ready AC...

I did plan on using the TM motor on a belt sander build, sound advice to get an encoder that meets the needs....especially since I know very little about them.
Of course I will look around for the...

Hi Spumco
Thanks so much for all the info you have sent.,..appreciated.
I have just stripped an old treadmill that I was given and the 1.5 hp dc motor has a plastic plate with slots on the plate...

Hi Spumco,
Thanks for your take on this inverter and how you have set your system up.
I have decided to go with an inverter duty motor supplied locally, aluminum B90 frame which is smaller than...

Hi Al,
Here is a link to the user manual if you want to read....section 6 has vector control and PM control.

I'm just working my way through the 642 page...

Hi Al,
The info I provided for a PM motor is for general information and not specific for the motor I would use...as I said the PM motor is a Chinese brand here is a brochure 0n the...

Hi Al,
Here is an explanation of a PM motor.

The link isn;t the brand of motor i would purchase just an explanation,the Chinese equivalent for about 600 AUD is half the cost.

Hi,
I'm getting towards the end of my project....I'm doing a cnc home build mill but in a gantry configuration...very heavy build.

I have just purchased a Omron sensorless vector drive....

Hi mad welder,

I plan on machining all of the materials you mentioned....tho will only be intermittently.

Regards.

Hi All,

I'm interested in purchasing this machine for a CNC conversion for my own use.

http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Print?Code=M126&All

Could someone advise as to what size stepper motor...

Raspberry Pi, The Raspberry Pi Launch

New cheap user friendly board.

What's peoples thoughts, how would you integrate this unit into anything CNC any Ideas ??????? Would it be an alternative...

Still no satisfactory answer to my emails as yet....I have forwarded pics of the motors as they requested.

Very slow response from them.

Regards.

Update,

Just got a reply back to an email I had sent.....so looks like Want Motor are back on line.

I ordered these 85BYGH450D-007 and according to what arrived I have this 85BYGH450c-012B.

These motors aren't what the labels state...my motors could be anyone of half a dozen...so I need...

Yea...Chinese new year....there web site is down, maybe a glitch...just be cautions.

Purchased a stepper motor kit from Wantai Motors,package arrived and Motors are incorrectly labelled.

I have emailed Wantai for clarification and emails bounce back...there web site is down...
...

I have had misleading info on these motors before and previously asked the company to clarify as there were 2 different spec sheets available, this just added to my confusion.

The help that you...

Thanks Gerry,
You answered something I was looking for.
2 drives on the x axis so should be about 120lbs or 50 kilograms of force.
My presumption then is that the y gantry should weigh less than...

ok...done the googling etc and here is what Ive come up with.

According to manufactures web site...Pulse Torque curve @ 1200 PPS= 180 RPM @ half step.
Torque = 180Kg/Cm or 250 oz/in...note I'm...

Your probably right...they wouldn't have seen this thread as they make general electronic boards for Arduino type products,etc.

I purchased one of these for another project and stumbled upon this...

here is a pulse torque curve on the website, last one on the page for these motors

Could someone help with an explanation?

My intended use in plasma would require 300 ipm for traverse and 150 ipm for cut...using specs off another machine.

So I now need to find the torque curves...what else is required to find out if...
