Good evening all.
Working my way through a spindle bearing replacement on my Hiteco QD-1F and ran into a bit of a snag. I was not able to find a guide (or even pictures) of how the main shaft...
As much as I would like to keep the servos, the control cabinet in which the servo drives were housed is decidedly missing what I'm going to assume is very essential hardware (power supplies and...
I recently came into possession of a Messer CNC Plasma table . The machine itself needs some work, but the electrical side of it is definitely non-functional and I believe will need to be replaced. ...
Perhaps an assumption on my part, but the whole machine was loaded with metric fasteners (I believe Tree machine hardware was a product of Czech Republic and was outfitted with its electronics in the...
The setup:
I recently rebuilt/modified a Tree Master Journeyman 425. I replaced the old servos with stepper motors (with encoder feedback to the drives). I had to setup the new Centroid ACORN...
You make a good point. With no hand wheels you wouldn't exactly need the information. I mean it would be nice to have the encoder feedback but the price difference of about $2200 between the two...
I have been looking over the Acorn as well as I just learned about Centroid's available options (thanks @Jim Dawson). The potential drawback I see to the Acorn is there is no encoder feed back on...
Thank you Jim for looking that up for me! I very much appreciate your wisdom on the matter.
I believe you are correct, I have 192KB of working memory that is activated. My main drive to upgrade the controller is the ease of use/quality of life factor. Using the Dynapath has been...
The Servo Drive is a Baldor UM4-150-2-03S, and the Servos are Baldor MTE-4535-SPECIAL. Pictures of the nameplates on the equipment. https://imgur.com/a/B2iRWtg
I believe they are brushed, DC...
Would the Centroild OAK allow me to get encoder feedback on all 3 axis? The reason I'm asking is I see the OAK board has 2 encoder ports? If at all possible I'd like to keep the feedback as its the...
I didn't see the minimum file attachment size, oops

The "buffered Input" is not an enabled option unfortunately on this machine. Whats...
Recently came into possession of a Journeyman 425. Appears to be in decent shape (everything works) and after firing it up and doing a few sample cuts it looks to still be holding good tolerance and...
