ok, why the hell do I keep getting moved here...im looking for power supplies..not servos and drives. If I was looking for a servo or drive I would post here. Im looking for the power supply that...

I cant find a power supply for my 3 brushed dc servos for my morbidelli build. They are 176 volt, 6.6 amps cont and 25 amp max. The biggest I can find are like 80 volt...am I not looking in the...

Im trying to identify all the connections on the vicker servo drive, I cant locate a manual for it so if any one with knowledge of these, could you please chime in so I can get this...

The mechanical side of the conversion is all figured out and all most complete. I am using the Morbidelli u46 frame and putting a 5x9 vacuum table on. A new gantry is being built and we are using a...

I was measuring my vacuum pumps amp draw so that i could get an appropriate thermal overload for it when I came across a surprise. I measured the three legs and 1 was 23 amps, 2nd was 17 amps and 3rd...

Thank you very much kak111. That helps me out a lot. I'm going to go over it in detail tonight.
The reason I want to go with a double relay system is that the vacuum pump is going to be farther...

Hello all,

The morbidelli U46 has come to the point of wiring up the vacuum table and all controls included. I have collected the majority of parts needed...that I know of...and sent a rough...

lol, ya its not what it used to be. Hopefully it will be better with the new hardware and a controller update. I had no real use for a pod system so I went the 4x8 route. Maybe a mistake...maybe...

ya its sitting in the shop now in pieces. The rebuild has started, I have made a couple videos on youtube, showing what i have to work with and what i plan on doing. Hopefully i will have it going by...

thanks guys. Hey Al, how hot does your pump get, or is a little heat nothing to worry about?

Thanks
Wade

I'm setting up my vacuum table,trying to get the layout all figured. I have my new regenerative blower, but Ive been told that with a regenerative blower you need a vacuum relief valve. I can find...

Im trying to get my 5hp colombo spindles to run off a 7.5 hp Delta VFD055A23B. Im not having much luck and i may have cooked one. I believe i have it set properly, but instead of drawing the 12 Amps...

Thanks Al! These would all be digital inputs and outputs( for the operation completed signal) Now for the 24v magnetic coil pneumatic valves that drop the actual spindle...I assume these are analog...

I want to check if I am on the right track. When the computer outputs the Gcode to drop drill spindles 8,9,10 and 11 and it has been set that that gcode is G98 , does the plc receive this code G98...

My shop has only single phase power, all our big 3 phase equipment we run off a 20 HP rotary phase converter. I would like to build the cnc router controller to accept only single phase so i dont...

I want to get a longer ball screw for my y axis on my machine im building. The ball screws I have now are off a commercial machine. If I get a new ball screw do I have to get the exact same size and...

I have finally decided that i will go with AMC 's 16A20AC drivers to power my servos.When i was talking to the tech at AMC he mentioned that I would need a position controller, being new at this, is...

Thanks Al. I was looking over some drawings of e-stop switches because i have 3 to put in.They looked like they were in the controller/relay circuits like you were stating. Would there not be an...

Hello all. Ive drawn up some prelim schematics.They are rough....i mean rough lol. I just want to check if im on the right path or not. If you see anything that wont work or is simpler please dont...

b2b that 25 amps was almost full load for those servos. Al the Man steered me straight and told me I only need to use the continuous rating for the servos which is 6.5 amps. They are large servos.I...

Thanks AL, I bought the book in pdf form and printed it off. Will be tonights reading. Looks like it will answer alot of my questions.

Thanks
Wade

Good day, im laying out my electrical schematics now from the very beginning. I have some questions. Ive been researching power distribution blocks....there is more of them than i care to look at. Im...

i see where i went wrong now...i was using the 35 max amp as my amp used per each motor and i was thinking that all the motors where being driven hard non-stop lol. Well i learned alot today...but...

Thanks guys...slowly beginning to make sense...if i have any more questions or aha moments i will let you know.

Thanks
Wade

okay..you are saying the voltage of the secondary winding of the transformer is equal to .707 x the DC voltage required for 1 motor. So 1 motor requires 176 volts DC max. 176 x .707 =124 which...

Thank-you Al....you are the man. I understand about 25% of what you said ,so after i do some research on what you stated so that i can understand the reason why you gave these numbers, i might ask a...

Okay, I have picked my drivers out...I want to supply 25 amps to each driver at 170 volts. I have 3 drivers so do i need to bridge rectifier that puts out 3 times those amounts in volts and amps or...

I am using a PLC to control the multi drill spindle block so i should be able to add some controls for the spindle power and controls for the pneumatics that drop the spindle that is in use. I hope...

Thanks Ger21

The spindles will be used separately so I'm thinking with some creative use of relays it can be done. If any one has any idea what this creative use of relays is, lol I would sure...

I am a complete newb when it comes to the inner workings of a cnc but this build is going well with all your help. My next question which is probably an easy answer is can 1 vfd control 2 spindles or...
