I have recently replaced the DC servos on my Enco BP clone with DMM 750W ac servos. I used the same mounts and 2:1 bet drive on the X and Y. I use a 750W on my Z which is the knee. This has a 5:1...

I have recently replaced the DC servos on my Enco BP clone with DMM 750W ac servos. I used the same mounts and 2:1 bet drive on the X and Y. I use a 750W on my Z which is the knee. This has a 5:1...
That is one reason I went with the Dyn4 drive is so I can move up to a bigger z motor. I wanted to see what it does. It is balanced with a spring shock and is on linear guides.
I have just received the DMM 4 drives and 400 watt motors I am going to use on the Syil 5 I purchased several years ago while in Mongolia. I am back in the US and want to convert it to AC servos. It...
Someone was looking for poly v pulleys. Ametric.com is a source I have used. You can purchase online from them. Prices are reasonable and selectin is very good. Takes a little searching on their sit...
I would reduce the acceleration.
5740 does not have pp so ia am going to use with smooth stepper (usb). I do have it communicating with the ss but still have set up to do.
Dave, thanks for checking. I am able to view it now.
I have just started playing around with a 7520 and a 7540. I am making progress and i think you need to make sure there is enough memory in the unit. The 7520 I have has 512meg for voth ram and rom....
I am unable to access this video. Is it still on youtube? Thanks
It is now working. I tried adjusting the current settings and some how got the blue light blinking which according to the manual means that the drive was disabled by the user. I could not get that...
Yes, the motor shaft turns without any resistance. I will try setting the current and let you know if it changes anything.
Thanks for the reply. I am attaching the file that I was using. I see I did not include a lot of information about my test setup. My connections are the same as in the getting started guide. I...
I purchased the VSD-EX drive, the VSD breakout board, and BLD motor from you about a year ago while living in Mongolia. I have returned to the US and had some time to try and set this up on my test...
I have used TCC for many years and it became painfully obvious that the CAM version would not move into the 3d world so I have moved on to Alibre with the CAM option. I do not remeber ever seeing...
Hello Jason,
I watched your video and was surprised to see that you are cutting the aluminum dry. What type of bit were you using? I have trouble with the aluminum building up on the bit unless...
In my experience the 2 biggest problems with cutting aluminum without coolant are buildup on the cutting edge and clearing chips. You need to use some type of lubricant to prevent the buildup of...
I want to respond to Mow-Mau's statement. I did not pursue getting a refund as it was made clear that the refund would be made when it was convenient for them to pay it. They would not refund the...
You go into Mach3 motor tuning and reduce the accelration and or the velocity. I think the main setting you need to change is the acceleration or velocity. I would suggest that you cut it by 50% to...
It sounds like your acceleration is to high. If it has been working fine and now isn't then you are not getting enough lubrication or you z axis gib is dragging. The squeal you are hearing is the...
You should check out gwizard from cnccookbook. It has a function that you can input the height of the scallop you can live with and it will give you the step over to use. This is for ball mills. ...
If you are asking about the unit on the right side of the enclosure it is a digital scale display. I have purchased and installed a 3 axis electronic scale system. This is mostly to check for lost...
I recently purchased an X5 from Syil and I am using SS. I have it hooked up to directly in line with the PP plug on the X5 so it is just replacing the PP plug on the laptop I am using. I am using...
I have seen that site. Unfortunatley I don't read Chinese. I thought I would try google video but they are no longer allowing uploads to their site. I will look into picasa. Open to other...
I took some video this weekend of a program but I have not been able to upload it to youtube. I cannot access the youtube upload site. I'll keep trying. The file is 121meg wmv file. Any...
I just had a chance to look at Tormach web site and see what the 770 specs are. One thing that would concern me is the hp rating of the spindle motor. Seems kind of low. The other thing is I have...
The Syil web site gives contradictory information about the y-travel: 5.86inch and 160mm for the y travel. Can you tell us the travels on your machine?
Also does it come with manual lubrication...
I just go a chance to get back to you regarding the travels. I checked them last night when I got home. These travels are the mechanical limits at which the travel is physically stopped. X= 11.23"....
I recently purchase an X5 and went through the same decision. I finally went for the X5 because it had the linear ways. I have been very happy with my decision. I would have eventually went with...
I purchased a TT tooling system directly from them and had nothing but problems. They increased the original quoted price from $275 to $358. Then I asked for shipping and was quoted $14 so I wired...
I just saw this thread and want to say that I would be very interested in something like this. I do have MeshCAM and it works pretty well but it would be nice to do everything in one program. I'll...
