Mine is wired with the red on the left, the white in the middle, and nothing on the right.

The green wire is ground, and is wired to a ground terminal about a foot above these terminals.

Anyone ever tear one of these things apart and replace the seals?

I picked up an old CHNC4 that was in extremely good condition other than some air leaks and a turret problem. I've got it up and...

I've been able to get the back corners to work, but not the front narrow point.

Does the front sharp point have the loop in your code?

Attached is the zip file for a profile I'm looking at.

I need to follow the outside of the profile with a .031 cutter and have the corners looped.

I can do the wider angles, but the tighter...

Boy, this feels dumb!

I don't zip files, so I didn't even realize I don't have a software to do this.

Are there any good ones? What works best?

I downloaded some kind of freeware, but can't...

Looking for some help

I use V24 and need to make some profiles with clean tight outside corners at a low included angle.

If I use the "Loop Radius" or " Loop Length" corner type, I can get...

I'm curious to see how the G215 will reference home position, and how you would "Call up" different stored programs.

I have several machines that run the same programs over and over. Maybe 8 to 12...

Thanks!

I don't have an easy way to get pics, but here's some basic information on the machine.

It's an upright rectangular frame of 8020 with rails on the inside of the long uprights. The shuttle rides...

I just picked up a Feeler lathe with an old Omniturn attachment.

I'd be interested in some of the mods you guys have made.

Do you use any different or special size pulleys for the direct drive?...

Matt,

Actually, that's what I have now, a belt between 2 spindles turned by one stepper.

I use routers to do the cutting with a slot cutter against the spinning pool cue shaft. The trouble is...

Thanks!

Yes, both spindles will do the same.

I wasn't sure if the PC parallel outputs could drive 2 stepper driver chips at once. I'm certainly not a TTL guy! I just don't want to...

I'm looking to slave to axis together, but it's a little different than usual.

I use a stepper as a spindle on a pool cue turning machine, and would like to have 2 spindles. They would need to be...

I've received resistors from Gecko. I don't remember if they came with a drive, or with the motors, or both. Even if they didn't, the resistors are extremely easy to choose and install. Just a...

Thanks Steve

I need to call you about the drives as well as the right motherboard and supporting hardware. Hopefully tomorrow.

I do need to find out about the encoders though. If they are too...

Thanks for the info Steve!

I do believe that it was a pick and place machine of some sort. However, the axis and movements on this machine are heavier than I would expect for a fast moving light...

Thanks for the info, both of you!

I know that the third wire coming off the motor goes to what looks like a temp sensor. It's just strapped to the outside, and makes no connections to the motor...

I just picked up an old assembler machine retired from Texas Instruments and want to turn it into a cnc machine to do inlays on my pool cues.

The larger slide is a Seiko Epson SSR-X065-III. The...

UUU

You're right that I should give some more information. I've built over a dozen machines over the last 10 years or so, and use from 4 to 6 of them everyday in my cuemaking business. Others I...

I've noticed that, occasionally when I hit a jog button, it won't release. The machine will keep going even after I release the jog button. Of course this usually happens when I'm jogging the Z axis...

I emailed you my contact info, so please have your US representatives contact me.

Thanks

Morn,

Thanks for your reply. I've looked at your website, briefly, and noticed that your address is listed in the US. Are you in the US, and would you or someone competent be available at that...

Tweakie,

Thanks for the info

I think they are 40 watt, so what machines would cut the carbon fiber, and what kind of power am I looking at?

Thanks

I'm Looking for information on a laser to both engrave rubber stem bumpers, and also cut through 1/32" and 1/16" carbon fiber sheet.

Is this possible with a small inexpensive desktop laser, or is...

Marcus,

How about adding a parallel port connector on the back of the drive as well as on the front.

Those of us who use a smooth stepper have to either mount the smooth stepper outside the...

I'm planning a servo machine, first one, and need some advice.

Of course, the G320x is the drive I will be using, but I don't know about motors. All my systems have been stepper systems so I have...

I would think the extension card would work fine. You may have an address problem with it though. Are you using Mach3?

You can also use a USB interface like the smoothstepper.

I would like to know how a Linear motor works, and if Gecko makes a drive to operate it.

I have a few Anorad linear motors, and would love to run them on my cnc.

I would contact Marcus at Gecko.

It appears to me that they had never considered the idea that someone would put the current set resistor at the motor end. I would bet they are looking...
