Thanks Kvom!

I will get the guy to try it.

Do you remember if you have made any changes to the pin connections?

sorry to dig this one up any chance one of you guys could send me the NM-200 ESS XML file too? Thanks in advance

hi all,

have a question for those that still have an NM-200.

I am trying to remotely help a friend that has a V2 of the machines and has had to upgrade the onboard PC due to some failure or...

Thank for the reply, trying to find the installation manual for just the ATC is proving hard work.

Surface grinding a small stock like the one needed here is not an issue.

The machine was...

Hi all,

Recently received my 330x700 lathe with a 6 station ATC. The ATC is designed to take 16x16mm tools

Installed my the tools I ordered a while ago for my manual lathe to get me started and...

Hi Guys,


thanks for the responses. Yes the XY plane is good and so is the XZ and YZ. The axis of the spindle is nodding a bit in the YZ plane which results in every so slightly oval holes when...

Hi All

I have been asked to assist a UK University in getting their NM-200 up and running properly.

We will be working through the electronics at some point as they wanted to install a...

Nevermind,

managed to figure it all out.

If anyone needs help let me know, I am pretty clued up on the GSK ladder now.

HI all,

I recently purchased a machine that was shipped with the very capable GSK980MDc controller.

Thing is I use repeatable Z tooling similar to the TTS system for R8 spindles which allows...

The inbuilt power supply is 24V I think. The machine runs ok at that voltage but could do with more if running nema23s. The issue is the pulse train first, dirvers and voltage second. You cannot use...

Its the parallel port that is probably the issue. Get yourself a motion controller like the Ethernet Smoothstepper or similar. it is the only way

Jasmin

Yes, it can if what you are feeding it is not great. Some BOBs work on a low voltage from the parallel port (around 3.5V) ok others do not and need 5V. Get a Smoothstepper to ensure you get...

Regarding bevilles: if you put them in ()()()() all you are doing is increasing your travel for a given load. To make the tension higher you need to put them (())(()) effectively thickening each...

MT3 has a much worse clamping force due to the taper angle. Ran the calcs:

800lbf drawbar tension gives a clamping force of 260lbf so you can expect a pullout force of 52lbf or 231N...now that is...

Hi all,

I was thinking about this topic a lot over the last few days so I wrote a blog post on it:

https://emvioeng.com/drawbar-tension-for-qtc-tooling/

I have the equations in the post to...

Well I lurk when time allows and also saw that you linked to my shop so the least I could do was thank you directly!




100% agree! many ways to skin a cat.

As part of the expansion in our...

Hi Kawazuki,

George from Emvioeng here...thanks for the kind words. I am glad you like the holders.

What I have told most of my clients when it comes to using the repeatable Z tooling with MT3...

can you post your gcode?

I will send you detail of how i did mine in a fw weeks when i am back from holidays

Hi all,

I have been thinking about this for a while now.

Is is possible to link the hybrid servo to get it's feed back from a glass scale in stead of thr rotary encoder?

Lost motion would...

Check you code for tool length offset calls. Some CAM put thrm in automatically

I have used the hybrids on my machine. Have pushed the speeds up to 3000mm/min. Have a look on youtube for krv2000 cnc conversion.
Got the hybrids ao that i did not have to worry about missed steps....

Hi John,

I too have a KRV that I am about to convert. I have the ballscrew lengths for the X and Y axis but the dealer could not tell me the diameter off hand.

Would you be able to tell me...

Sorted! Thanks Bill

Hi Bill,

thanks for the answer. I am trying to install it in windows XP. It is apparently trying to register inpout32.dll into the Regserver. will investigate and write back.

Hi Bill,

first off, you might want to think about adding a donate button to you signature!4 years later and there are people still interested in your work.

You got me to join another forum...
