Ok, Somehow, the machine is running the code correctly. I did couple of things at the same time:
1.I edited tool paths in fusion 360. instead of bottom height being offset from model top in negative...

Thank you. I’m learning this G-code stuff and trying to make sense of it.

Thank you. I do it in a similar manner with my controller. After homing the machine. I jog it to the part’s origin, then record and save X and Y coordinates under G54. Then, I measure the height...

one of those writings in chinese says work coordinates, the other is machine coordinates. I ran other files, which were smaller, without problems, even one that i had to change a part orientation of.

pictures attached

I did something similar when tested the machine’s max speeds and stuff. It can go 20m/min and accelerate and stop almost instantaneously without any problems.

I know. I said that to kindly let know that losing steps is not my machine’s problem.

I’ll try and attach some pictures tomorrow, from my computer. Phone seem to have trouble doing it.

Thank you. I use 750W servo on Z Axis. Strongly believe it’s not losing steps. Besides, it’s doing it while dry run.

I called the tool probe a Tool Setter, my mistake. Can you suggest anything on how to identify problems in the program? Thanks

Sorry, my last reply I just pressed a wrong button.
I actually find tool length probe very useful. Especially, when having to use multiple tools on one part.
The thing about my issue is that G...

I set my part’s center point at the bottom as the origin and the attachment point to the machine. Because, when I set front corner as such, the z axis plunged right down after A-axis rotation.

Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it! I’m kind of new to all this and sometimes I think I got in over my head. The only way now is forward. I checked the NC program and it has G43...

I use tool length setter, the settings for it have Z axis offset, which is a height difference between the tool setter and the part origin. When i execute tool check command, the coordinates are...

Hi guys,
I ran into a problem with my machine. While running a program, the machine changes its Z Axis coordinates and does not plunge into the part, instead it is rising higher between layers. ...

The SSD 635 drive acts very weird now. I’m trying to set it up to work with step/dir commands. I use AD 4640 CNC controller to control the Parker SSD 635 as my A-axis. When configured X40 as...

Hello. I got ahold of couple of Eurotherm SSD 635 servo drives+motors. These servo drives take some sort of special rs232 connector to com1 port. The connector I had to make myself for it costs £74!!...

Rod,
By the way, your build looks great. I wish I had access to machine shop.

Hello people!
Good thread!
I am now in process of accumulating some aluminum extrusions and plates as well as other linear motion components and tools for building my second CNC rooter. I got THK...

Hello Rod.
I've read through this entire thread. Took me few days little bit at a time. I am looking into buying an AC servo kit. Few options I consider are 1.DMM; 2.Used Mitsubishi or Yaskawa;...

Hi Al.
Thank you for answering!

Something like this:

Motion Control Products | Stepper Drivers | MSD2278 AC powered High Performance Stepper Driver

or like this:

Nema 34 /42 stepper...

Hello people!

Has anyone tried those AC powered stepper drives?
Seems like those are for large! hybrid steppers (mid- nema42 and up).

I am looking to choose the appropriate drive system for my...

I used to run 3 phase motor (just like yours) on one phase power supply by adding a capacitor. Usually the "star" connection diagram is for higher voltage (380V in your case) and "triangle" - for...

RocketScientist,
I've tried to gather some info on that... I ran out of efforts when lost my job.
there is not much resources on that. Guess there is not many diy-ers were successful on that.

The Desk CNC software may be a good stuff (it weights about 5 Mb, not so hefty for a good product). But to be able to work with it, person should be like a genius, must know everything!

Regarding...

I'd like to let everyone know, that they should never by a DESK CNC servo kit from IM-Service!
This company is one-man-show. support is very poor and product is not worth of money!
This lesson...

Thank you all very much!!!
I feel like an idiot. But this is good thing I asked, at least now I know :)
I said that I have access to MC... I don't have a reseller for that. This is why I asked my...

Hi dear people!
I just need a point in right direction.
The question is: what hardware and additional software do I need to start producing parts?
i have access to SW 09 and MC X3. I built 3 axis...

Hello everybody.
I got this problem with servo kit from IM-Service web.

I built my machine, dressed it with motors, hooked everything...

Just wondered, if there is anyone besides me, who tried or wants to try to build 5 axis machine? any help appreciated!
Thanks.
