    Re: SZGH GH-1000MC beginners help?

    I own and use the SZGH 1000MDc control. Yes, it can be used with or without ATC. The ATC macro is called via a user program such as G120 (servo ATC) or G121 (AC Motor ATC). If G120 or G121 or not...

    Re: SZGH GH-1000MC beginners help?

    Can you use the Right Arrow key to toggle to F6, F7, and F8? You must spend some time exploring your control to familiarize with it. If not, everything will be more difficult for you. I spent 2...

    Re: TBI ballscrews

    From my recollection the differences are only in the ball nuts, not the screws themselves. SFA = end cap recirculation type. SFU and SFNU are internal recirculating type. SFA would be used in high...

    Regarding running out of ports - recommend using an ESS which will allow 3 ports worth of inputs/outputs. I use one on a 3-axis mill with home-built 10 tool ATC.

    Re: Dmm Servo Spindle Setup Mach 3

    USMarine, I have a similar setup and will be doing the same thing soon. I did some research to ensure that I'll be able to rigid tap, and get the full value from the Servo spindle. The best method...
  15. Re: DMM DYN4 Wiring Fault Alarm to Breakout Board

    Mactec, can you walk through how you modify the encoder cables to a custom length? Do you simply cut and solder each wire back, or do you re-crimp the motor side encoder connector? I walked through...
  16. Re: DMM DYN4 Wiring Fault Alarm to Breakout Board

    Mactec, thanks for the follow up. You may be correct. My motor and encoder cables had alot of extra length. I was able to shorten the motor cables, but couldn't do anything about the encoder cables....

  18. Re: DMM DYN4 Wiring Fault Alarm to Breakout Board

    Yes, I'm using the proper EMI filters as recommended by DMM on both the power and signal sides. The DYN4 drivers are properly grounded though it's hard to quantify the efficacy of a ground. The...

    Jmhx2, thanks for the fast response. Sorry for the late reply, had some work travel, then the holiday week. Your suggestion worked well. No pull up resistors are needed with the C10 board and the...
  20. DMM DYN4 Wiring Fault Alarm to Breakout Board

    When I installed the DYN4 drives I didn't have enough I/O to wire up the drive fault alarms. I've since picked up a C10 board and using Port 3 on an ESS to allow for more I/O. I've wired Pin 18 ALM...

    Wanted to follow up on this to close out the issue for anyone who may choose DMM 400W Nema 23 motors for a G0704 sized machine using direct drive. It turns out that the 400W Nema 23 motors from DMM...
  23. Re: DMM Servos with DYN4 Drives on G0704 Random Alarm Issue

    Mactec54, thanks for the help. I've thrown in the towel. I've uninstalled the 400W servos and drives. They will ship back to DMM for exchange to 750W Nema34 motors and DYN4-H drives. I'll feedback in...
  24. Re: DMM Servos with DYN4 Drives on G0704 Random Alarm Issue

    Ok, I'm understanding a bit better. My max frequency settings are set at the default 256. I don't have homing setup yet, so the homing speeds are all 0 at the moment.

  26. Re: DMM Servos with DYN4 Drives on G0704 Random Alarm Issue

    Thanks so much. The Smoothstepper is on order. I'll start with that then if needed step up to the 750W motors/drives. I appreciate your inputs.

    Mactec54,

    Thanks for the solid feedback. I'll definitely move to the smoothstepper. Ill try the 65kHz as a temporary limp along solution as well.

    All my axes are direct drive 1:1. The 400W...

    I recently upgraded the steppers on my G0704 from steppers to DMM 400W servos on the X & Y, and 750W on the Z, all with DYN4 drives. Everything progressed well until a shakedown run when the 400W X...

    Re: What coolant mist system is this?

    You can buy them here from the same maker that NYCNC got them from. I use one, its actually a pretty good idea and works nicely.
