    I would point out that the bottom of the line koma 8" rotary had 3X's the torque, but the worst thing it'll do is fault the drive or crash, how bad could it be.?
  4. Re: Connecting a 4th axis - Centurion VI/VM16

    so youre going to depend on the motor bearings and shaft to hold up to the pressures of machining? mmm, sounds sketchy, besides that, I hope they are big angular contact or something super rigid,...
  5. Re: Connecting a 4th axis - Centurion VI/VM16

    I would also recommend getting a Yaskawa Sigma 2 drive and motor. At least with that, all the parameters are known and should be about the same as your other drives.
  6. Re: Connecting a 4th axis - Centurion VI/VM16

    its easy to do, but as far as I know, they are out of production, so milltronics new old stock is the only place to get them. I've looked...
  7. Re: Connecting a 4th axis - Centurion VI/VM16

    I called hypertherm yesterday, they are supposed to email me with schematics of their machine that should get me where I need to be. It really sucks that given the price of the plasma cam for what it...
  10. Plasmacam won't support my old machine. Need Help hooking up new PM 85 w/i

    So I bought the DHC2 4x4 model around 08' along with a hypertherm powermax 1000. The other day, (after 10 years ) the 1000 took a dump. I have an 85 that I used for hand work and now I have bought a...
  11. Re: Affordable Yaskawa service or change servo amp type? VM17 Cent VI

    Stick a sigma 2 yaskawa drive and motor in it. At least then if the drive fails later you can do either a sigma 2 or 5 for a replacement. You can probably find the pair for under a G on eBay.

    If it's a DC machine, why not just run it on 220 single phase? L1 & l3 to your hot legs and jumper l1 & l2. Any rotary phase converter is going to give you a wild leg, the generated leg. Turn it on...
