Jackal,

I am no wiring guru, thats for sure. I just kept looking and asking until I finally figured it all out.

There are uses for that type of plasma cutter. My brother and make custom parts for race cars. Aluminum valve covers are one of our biggest products. I have often thought it would be nice to...

The 80/20 extrusions will cost you more than using a steel construction. However, if you don't have the equipment to fab it out of steel the extra cost is worth it.

Does the MB1 have a motor to adjust the speed up and down? I know my KM3P has a prox sensor on the spindle shaft with a small 3ph motor to adjust the rpm. Is yours the same?

I am finishing my...

The prox switches are the limit switches. All the wires...

123CNC,

I have AOL (or maybe it way yahoo) to thank for the name freak_brain, not my higher education. Only an idiot would have the user name freak_brain, right??? :) It was one of those things...

Hello again

After looking through some of my documentation I found the following part number for the servos. It states that it is a EC servo part number 401-4003-015. Maybe this will help.

Hello All!!!

I recently purchased a hurco KM3P. After some issues I have had (and others I have read about) I have decided to retrofit this machine. One of the many open issues is my servo motors....

That worked.... Thank You

Larry

I have visted your website for the past couple of days trying to download your manual on your viper 200 servo drive. For some reason it don't show up!! Can you post in on here for me?

I think as a general rule static phase converters are not recommended for CNC machines. However, it sounds like all you are looking to do is power the spindle motor with the phase converter. I would...

Buddy,

I got it!! All I had to do is change the "file type" from NC to HNC. The file extension was always HNC but the file type was NC. I changed it over and bam!!

Thanks to both of you for all...
