  1. Re: CNCRP/Avid CNC Pro Ballscrew Z Axis (12") Making Clicking Noise

    Thanks Andrew. I think that re-adjusting the collar as you suggested fixed the problem. It is much quieter now.

  2. Re: CNCRP/Avid CNC Pro Ballscrew Z Axis (12") Making Clicking Noise

    I just rechecked the screws in the collar (shown in green in your picture). They are still tight. However, the gray colored sleeve just below the green collar shown in your picture is loose. It won't...

    Gary,

    AVID CNC recently posted some YouTube videos on greasing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUURXMoW6I66UPUohD-Dkeg I didn't see any mention of greasing the nut; only the screw and linear...
  4. Re: CNCRP/Avid CNC Pro Ballscrew Z Axis (12") Making Clicking Noise

    I am having a similar problem with my 12" Z-Axis. When it was new, it had clicks only every once in a while. Now, the clicking is very frequent. It makes multiple clicks on either up or down....

    Re: Benchtop Pro 2x3

    I used a metric hex bit, an extension, and a driver. I believe it was a 2.5mm. Something like this, however, I may have used a longer extension.

    Re: Benchtop Pro 2x3

    I installed a needle nozzle and an elbow on my grease gun. This allowed me to access the grease ports from the side. Worked very well for me. I think this is easier than trying to install grease...

    Re: 4th axis touch probing

    Does your WildHorse probe have an LED? The LED may be allowing enough current to flow through the circuit to prevent it showing an open circuit.

    The pin outs for the Aux-1 and Aux-2 ports are the same as those for the limit and homing sensors on the Plug and Play System. They match up with their Proximity Sensors:...

    Re: 4th axis touch probing

    I have Mach3 as well. Once I started using Mach4, never wanted to go back to Mach3. I just started Mach3 up. I will have to relearn it to see if I can setup the G31.1 probing.

    Re: 4th axis touch probing

    On Mach3, the Aux-1 port is mapped to "digitize" input. I can map the Aux-2 port to other inputs; but, I don't know how to link it with G31.1 or how the "digitize" input is linked to G31. Could it be...

    Re: 4th axis touch probing

    It took a bit of learning to switch; but, it wasn't bad. There is no direct conversion from Mach3 to Mach4. You use the same settings from CNCRP such as port, pins, motor settings, etc.; however, you...

    Re: Need Wiring Diagram For Nema 34 Plug & Play.

    You can also download the datasheet for the Pepperl + Fuchs Proximity Sensor on the CNCRP product page for the sensor. It will give you the Connection and Pinout diagrams that match with their Plug...
