Are the disks formatted 720k? 1.44Mb will not work.

I don't think its possible to do on a Delta 20. To change out the display for an LCD, you'd need a VGA card which wasn't available on the Delta 20 (as far as I know).

Your picture shows a...

Hi. Its a Baldor "Big MHO". What's the best way to remove the tach?

Any idea what it costs to have something like that done?

Craig

I seem to have damaged the tachometer of the Y-Axis motor on my Tree Journeyman while disassembling it for cleaning. I was pulling the tachometer off, and managed to gouge through the windings with...

Hello All-

I managed to crash the y-axis on my J310 and damaged the ball screw. If anyone out there happens to have one they would like to sell, please shoot me a PM.

Thanks,

Craig

Kit,

I left a message on your visitor page with my email address.

I tried sending you a PM, but I got a message saying you're prevented from receiving them.

With 238 volts on the L3 leg, you'll probably want to not only check for shorts, but for insulation resistance problems as well. A standard ground-continuity check won't necessarily detect that...

When you moved your mill, did you unscrew the connector that runs between the spindle motor, and the control cabinet mounted on the back of the machine? If you did, you may have twisted one or two...

the machine should have a connector to plug the 4th axis in when its needed. that would probably be the most telling feature. whats actually needed to install one is a 5 axis transducer card (in...

I've wired mine up for the 4th but dont have a 4th to try it. Most of the servo chassis had the spare slot for the 4th, but the controller doesn't have it available. At least from what I've seen. ...

assuming you have the exact same hardware, what you would need to do is duplicate the parameter-eprom and the mtb (machine to builder) eprom chips located on your processor board, and then place the...

all you need is a voltmeter. i would keep the machine in the condition in the same condition you plan on running it in. im not 100% certain of this, but if you have noisy input power you're...

so you've taken the control off of the manufactured leg and your still having a problem?

you might also check the ac ripple on the dc power supply. this will tell you if your power supply is...

i have some spares, if your interested shoot me a pm.

yep, it can accept g-code from mastercam provided you have the post processor for a dynapath. it works like a hose. if the program is larger than the memory you have in the controller, then you ...

yeah its too high. the power supply is only rated for 130V. shoot me a pm and ill send you a set of schematics.

my sample size is two but from what I can tell, Tree changed the wiring through the years on these machines. so what I have, might be different from what you have. but on my machine, line 21 and...

if you controller is set up for 115V, then you should take the measurement from each leg to ground.

the highest voltage is likely* the manufactured one. you want to make sure you are not...

the voltage off the manufactured leg of some of the phase converters can be quite high. you might want to verify that your not using the manufactured leg to power the control.

Have you tried reseating the boards?

I had a similar problem when my communication settings weren't quite right. Its been a while, but I think the baud rate was set incorrectly. You might try slowing it down to see if that doesn't...

Congratulations! It sounds like it maybe time for a mister....and maybe a bandsaw, surface grinder, and tig welder to compliment it.

Thanks. I didn't cut the teeth. I found someone selling off the parts to a J310 and took the mating part to the crank handle. It made life a little simpler.

The bridgeport handle didn't fit my machine. I think the problem was the number of teeth on the dog face. I ended up fabricating my own from a handle I bought from Mcmaster Carr. I bent the...

I'd agree, the Ellison manual has alot of typos, but it's nice in that its specific to the Tree. Once I got the hang of operating the control, the Dynapath manual took its place as my reference.

looks like you can still buy one

The arrow on the Y-axis should line up to the bed of the table. There is only one "arrow" for the Y. The z-axis is supposed to be -.050" away from flush but it will depend on how your limit switch...
