    Re: Epilog EXT36 power supply damage (HELP)

    I thought I would also mention that for some reason I have fairly high line voltage. I normally see far more than the normal 240v upwards to 260v at times. looking at the specs on the MeanWell power...

    Epilog EXT36 power supply damage (HELP)

    I do not use my Epilog as much but this time of year I use it a lot. I was doing some engraving and heard a pop but the machine kept on operating so I was not sure what happened. A few hours later...

    I had stepped away from this machine for a while and just came back to mess with it and sort out the bugs. I left a machine that was operational with some hiccups and came back to a machine that...

    Re: Omnibeam Servo motors issue?

    I seem to have solved the majority of the issue by getting the belt tension closer to what I assume is correct. The issue is still there when it is moving at rapid acceleration on the back side but...

    Here is another video where you can here the harmonics... This is the servo drives making this noise and like I said it can get wildly loud if you take the gantry back any father. No clue what...

    Omnibeam Servo motors issue?

    I have been refurbishing this Omnibeam laser I picked up and all was going well until this afternoon. I was leveling the bed and while moving the gantry to the far side of the cutting area all of...

    Re: Teknic Servo drive Power supply

    Well I have no idea how I did not come across this before. It look like the IPC-5 power supply from Teknic would support my Servo drive setup and it is only a 350 watt power supply. That being said...

    Re: Teknic Servo drive Power supply

    I am curious, what happens if you input 240v 3phase into a transformer that is designed for 400v 3phase? Would the output just be less or would it not have any output at all? There are so many 400v...

    Re: Teknic Servo drive Power supply

    I have considered using only single phase but I wonder if pulling a load off only the single phase lines would effect the voltage to the 3ph DC power supply for the laser itself. The servo drive...
