Thanks. Ended up going with the new Automation since that package has what I need. Parametrics on demand is a must for me.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like we are getting a different router that comes with software. Enroute looks like it would have been interesting to learn.

Does Enroute have parametric part creation/nesting ability? I'm used to Router-Cim Automation which allows you to pick a macro and just give x,y,z, dimensions and it will draw the part according to...

Have to use the table locks.

I've read other discussions here about one brand CNC router vs. another, but I would like to hear some opinions on the specific machines I'm looking at. If anyone has personal experience with the...

Zumba,

I bought the motors direct from Magmotor. I believe they were just over 200.00 each. My servos were made in Massachusetts, I think they have a plant in Canada also.

Davo:
I used the bridgeport ballscrew assembly from rockford, its preloaded and ready to go, yoke and all.

Backlash is set to .0007 in x and .0013 in y. The yoke is normally going to give you...

Terminal resistance and torque were my main concerns. Peter Morgan from magmotor took alot of info from me as far as what I needed, and he suggested the E winding. 100 IPM is fast enough for me.

We constantly edit programs with our cad cam software, I'm looking for a way to avoid switching the media disc.

We are having trouble sending a file to our dx32 controller, what software/settings are you using?

I don't have any pics of the internal part of the mount, but Dwayne is most helpful if you need assistance.

Rutex only charged me for 1, 3 tossed in for free. :)

I believe the magmotors were 280.00 each. I used the 2010 rutex drives and US digital encoders. Magmotor will sell you encoders, but I already had encoders so I didn't enquire about them.

I did...

I go in spurts, when I begin to spend more time looking for things than working, I go into operation cleanup mode... :rolleyes:

MSC has Starrett M1 spray which is good. But Rust Guardit from Kleen Bore is even better for rust prevention. Once rust starts it's hard to stop, you may need to scrub the surfaces lightly with...

Thanks for the comments!!

I'm sure there are things that could have been done better, but I'm happy with it. Here are the requested specs :

Servo's Magmotor C40-E-400FX. Specs can be found...

Vebers,
I'm no expert but I did get errors alot until I got my servos under control in spi. I ocassionally will still get errors in spi, but I ran my mill all week on the same job in mach3 and...

Hey Tom, thanks for the phone support. I finally got my project done. Well, 3 of the 4 axis' anyway. I posted some pics at this thread.
...

I haven't posted in a long time, I've had my head buried in my project. It's getting late so if this post makes absolutely no sense I apologize. :tired:

I just wanted to say thanks to all the...

I went with a network seat of XR2 pro, we're making progress with it! :cheers:

I'm interested in onecnc, but we program off existing 2d dwgs most off the time. I'm familiar with bobcad v20 in 2d, is onecnc simular?
Thanks

The "smart stop" is an option with elrod's quill drive. I don't know how long it's been available.

Thanks for the info, should save some bucks...

I'm trying to find some nema42 motors for my bridgport project and came across this while trying to research magmotors. I was pleasantly surprised with the quote from magmotor and to find out the...

Ahhh, I get it. That should be easy if I can figure out how to hook them up. That can wait until after I'm up and going... Thanks

Everyone is different, but what I've discovered in my 17...

Thanks..

But the mach2 software wouldn't show position without the servo's powered? It sounds like if I need a dro for running manually I'm outta 700.00 for a sargon.

BTW: Sargon's are the most...

Throw me a bone...

Tom,
What does terminal resistance do for me?

Please see my other thread when you get a chance...


other mcg question

Drew

Forgot to mention, these will be for a bridgeport type cnc conversion.

Does anyone see a problem with running 4 rutex r90h drives with 2 id33004

motors, and 2 id421-d motors?


I've read alot here but I want to make sure before the $$ is laid down.

Thanks in...
