    Question on Bilz WFP1 Tapping Chuck

    picked up a Bilz WFP1 with a 3/4" automotive shank cheap with the tap holders. Figured I could use it in the Bridgeport for tapping. Once you take the Woodruff Key out should not be an issue holding...

    Re: Bore Finish and Bore Rough in Gibbs

    I got the answer from Gibbs:

    The Rough Mill Bore generates toolpath as you would for a pocket with a roughing process, but starting from center of the bore. This type allows you to take multiple...

    Bore Finish and Bore Rough in Gibbs

    Hello,

    Please excuse my ignorance here, but how are the Bore Finish and Bore Rough processes different? The setting parameters are all the same so why call it two different things?

  7. Help Troubleshooting Anilam UART Fail Error

    Hello,

    I posted last week about a UART problem I am having with my Anilam Crusader 3 Axis Mill.

    It worked fine several weeks ago and then last week it would not upload and gave me a UART Fail...
  8. Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill UART Fail Error

    Hello,

    I have an Anilam Crusader M 3-axis will and went to use it this afternoon and ran into a problem.

    I haven't used the mill in several months but it was working fine when I used it last.

  9. Re: Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill will not boot up.

    I got in touch with Jerry who used to work for Anilam and he had me check and re-seat all of the IC's on the boards and the old girl fired right back up.

    Thanks for your help Jim. Much...
  10. Re: Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill will not boot up.

    Jim... It was a little high at 14.28v but seems fine. I guess I could have an issue with one of the boards?


    Thanks,
    Steve
  11. Re: Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill will not boot up.

    Jim,

    I checked the voltage and am getting a steady 5.174v. The 24v is a little high at 28v. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Steve
  12. Re: Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill will not boot up.

    Thanks Jim.

    Thanks for the quick reply. If I use a computer power supply should I also get the +/- 12v and 24v signals off there also? Should the grounds from the old power supply then go to the...
  13. Anilam Crusader M 3 Axis Mill will not boot up.

    I was hoping to get some help and get my old Anilam Crusader M 3 axis mill up and running again.

    It started not booting up on and off and the keypad would freeze and the screen would go blank...
  14. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Just so I understand... the scales DO NOT interface directly with the servo drives correct??? Do the scales run through another board with a comparator circuit for position?


    Thanks,
    Steve
  15. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Al,

    Do you have a link to the video you spoke of with Dr. Tal where he talks about servo control with glass scale position feedback? I looked around and can not seem to find it.


    Thanks,
    Steve
  16. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Al,

    What is likely to happen if I put in the new drive and do not hook up the tachs? Just some kind of error from the control if it doesn't work?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I called AMC and they said that the B25A20 will take Tach feedback and can run a brushed motor. However, I didn’t see the post about torque mode prior to calling. Can’t I just run the drive in...

    Thanks for the manuals Jim.

  21. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Al,

    The Anilam doesn't have an encoder. It uses glass scales for position feedback.

    Should I take out the tach and install an encoder?

    Thanks for the help!

    -Steve
  22. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Jim,

    What is the best way to clean the old scales? Don't they have a seal inside to keep you from being able to get to the glass?

    Mine are pretty well protected, but I know since I have had the...
  23. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Al,

    So with the BLDC drive I do not need to hook the tachs to the servo drives? How does the drive receive the feedback on motor speed?


    Thanks,
    Steve
  24. Re: Running Brushed DCMotors with Brushless Servo Drive/ Have Tach Feedback

    Jim... no encoders on the Anilam Crusader M milling Machine. It uses glass scale feedback.

    Thanks,
