    Re: larken system 400

    I just acquired a Larken System 400 LS with an ATC. Can anyone point me the a photo of the ATC mounting? This one is off the machine and it is running Mach3 and Gecko drives.
    Thanks!

    Re: Universal ATC Kit

    If I read this right, you are selling the mechanical parts and it's up to the buyer to add the electrical parts and get it working. Where can I get the tool change Macro for UCCNC?

  5. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    I don't remember much about it. It worked using Mach3 to control the spindle speed and was a very strong motor. I used it mainly to do away with the skinny belts. Ask on that group and they can tell...
  6. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    I don't have a Taig mill or a Consew motor any longer. But the info is still available on the Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Taig.Lathe.And.Mill.Group/

    older Haas drip feed problem

    Hello,
    I just bought a 1990 Haas VF1. I am trying to drip feed it, as the memory is very small. All the instructions say to turn on setting 55. Mine stops at setting 54. It is in Yasnac coordinate...

    I realize this is an old post. Did the new motor include a new encoder?

  10. Re: ARGH! backlash killing parts! Anyone have some info?

    If all else checks good, look at the balls, themselves. It is possible the balls are bad. They can be replaced and even made larger to take up wear. It is possible the screw is bad. Look for more...
  11. Re: Wanted, cross slide screw and nuts, import 12x36 lathe

    Some did. The screw did not. The handle end was different. I had to cut mine and use a piece of threaded rod. The nuts mounted differently as well. I was able to replace the apron gears and half nuts...
  12. Re: Mazak QT8 T2 control X axis numbers seem doubled

    Well I'll be! I swapped the pick up units (resolver/tach generators) when I was troubleshooting. The problem moved from X to Z, so I ordered a PU unit. Turns out, there is something different between...
  13. Mazak QT8 T2 control X axis numbers seem doubled

    Hello,
    I have had battery / parameter problems on this machine. I reloaded the parameters from photos of the screens when I first got the machine. Replaced the batteries, got rid of the parity error...

    No I didn't try that. I don't remember seeing it at the time.
  15. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    386864 Here is the schematic from the Taig site. I only used the bottom, as I didn't care for the switch. I used what I had on hand which was 10K pots so I doubled the value of all resistors to get...
  16. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    I don't think it matters. I did it with the G540, but the Consew only has a little less than 5 volts on the potentiometer. I did wire it straight to the G540, but results were poor (erratic). I used...

    Re: Mill Turn Project

    I have successfully used two different mills to do turning. On the first, a Taig cnc mill, I hand wrote the G-code and used Mach 3 mill. The limitation there was the Z column rigidity. It was very...

  21. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    Thanks, for your response. I thought that might be the case, but I wouldn't know how to do it. As to threading, all that is required is a reasonably steady speed. Even if if varied, the feed of the...
  22. Re: G540 to Consew Type Servo Sewing Machine Motor

    Any idea on how to reverse this with a digital input from the G540? Thanks!

    Re: AC servo drive kits

    Thanks for the help. My diagram shows the resolver on the right. I am talking about the left side, going from the NC to the servo amp. (The NC is the control, right?) Maybe it's a feed through for...

  28. Re: Will cutting G10/FR4 fiberglass sheet cause a Tormach to rust?

    Thanks, everyone. I am looking at a filter for the coolant, as well as running it richer. Also intend to try some PH test strips and contact Qualchem for their opinion.
