So thankfully, John had a manual on his website under the PDB item. If he is no longer selling arrays, I would highly recommend everyone with a PDB go grab the manual that can be found here:
Power...
So after several months of no use, I go to fire my Torus Pro up, and the Power Draw Bar is inop. I did some basic troubleshooting. The air solenoids are working, if I remove the line from the top...
Any chance they fixed the bug where if you were in the tool table, and changed a tool, that it doesn't show the line with the tool on it? Instead it shows the tool after it? That alone would make...
Not sure this is super helpful or not, but I used Brian's guide when I converted my torus pro over to path pilot. My spindle directions were reversed, and to this day I can not manually command...
Interesting, I think I am on 2.1.3, and haven't been using the mill very much in the last 6 months, but I have a couple of projects I am working on currently and was curious to see if I needed to...
That looks great. I very much like PathPilot, but I do wish there were some additional probing features and routines.
Mine does not.
So I will answer my own question, and yes the feeler gauge works. Because of the distance from the quill to the face where the gauge is, I thought it would take something different than what is...
Thanks to all those suggesting to tram the mill first. When I had done the initial setup, it was slightly less than.001. I haven't really crashed it, but it was about by about .004 along the X...
So I am somewhat disappointed in the finish that my Superfly gives me. I make some pretty large parts 10"x10", 6"x20" etc. While the actual surface finish is quite good, I do get very distinct...
Regarding the PDB, I'd take up another hobby before I went back to changing tools with a wrench.
Just asking, because I am new to all this, but can't you set a second offset at G55 and reference the g-code from there.
The price is right, a shame about the spindle speed, but could likely be upgraded .
On a semi related note, I would love to be able to hook this up the power bus in the mill so that this and my monitor only has power when the machine is powered on. Does anyone know where I can get...
That's funny, I was at HF the other day picking up a new Soft Blow Hammer, and they had that sitting there. I had the guy flip it on as it was advertised as super quiet. I certainly expected to be...
So new development. I took the X axis servo off, to play with the settings in servosoft, and low and behold the locking collar that connects to the ballscrew was not tight, and by not tight, I mean...
So I've had a little bit of success. I was able to cobble together a Win7 32bit VM, and got the servosoft software running and connected. I am able to backup and restore the entire servo drive...
Not yet. I did notice at the back of the drive manual that I posted (section 7.4) there is a table with what appears to be something called "Adaptive table for servo motor selections" which...
So this is not fixed. I noticed that even after slowing down the acceleration settings, jogs seemed to be incrementing more error. If I use the shuttle jog wheel and move the table along the X axis...
Thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, why did you remove the gearing? Was it to increase the encoder resolution, and machine precision?
To answer your question, I wasn't provided anything other than the mill, and a demo copy of Mach 3 pre-installed and configured in the control computer. I haven't changed anything in the cabinet...
Ok, so I made some progress. The motors appear to be a fairly common item, from a google search on the part # on a label. It is sold through MIGE (same people that make the drive) as well as a host...
Here it is.
I'll have to look and see if there are any identifiable markings when I get home today. I don't remember there being any but I didn't really look that close either. I know the Servo Drives are AC...
I might add that this error may or may not have been occurring since the beginning, but it may not have manifested itself until now because I added a second DX6 vise to the table to make some really...
Mike,
If that is truly the case, than I am a little disappointed. It's not the end of the world though. Now that I know, I can just take the appropriate measures. I am curious if the encoders are...
So, I finally got my Torus Pro Servo mill and Pathpilot situated and wanted to start making some parts. I load up a program that spots two rows of holes roughly 5 inches apart, along approximately...
As a post script to the tool setter questions, I remember the instructions for the tool setter being comically bad. Basically a piece of paper a little larger than a postage stamp. I believe I...
The answer to your first question is yes. As for a recommendation I bought one of Cliff Hall's Impact Tolerant Touch Probes, and as far as cost, It really depends on what your idea of reasonable...
