    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    As long as you use the same ref tool with the temporary zero it works at any surface that you touch off.

    Re: Changing a tool mid-cycle (delta 20)

    I'm not aware of a method that will allow you to go to a certain line in drip feed mode.

    You can resume from certain points in the program provided the work offset, tool offsets, spindle speed and...

    Re: Dynapath Delta 20 handwheel not working

    If you do want to open it, there are probably screws under the label or simply removing the standoffs each side of the terminal block will do the trick.

    Re: Dynapath Delta 20 handwheel not working

    They are not really intended to be serviced, an experienced instrument repair person could possibly manage it. Easier to find a replacement.

    There are probably some low-cost units that you can fit...

    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    Once your are done? Ref zero (R + Z jog switch) on Z axis as you would on startup, no need to redo the other axes this time.

    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    I'd have to have a look at my manual when I'm back in the office, but I believe the intent is to "facilitate" programming right off the machine. It's not much of a time saver as you have to rezero...

    Sorry, missed the last part of your question.

    Re: Dynapath Delta 20 handwheel not working

    Possibly dead as machinehop5 said -- the handwheel is optical inside with a lamp illuminating a grid wheel. If that lamp goes out there will be no output. Try the measurement on the complementary...

    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    Yes, always pick a non-zero coordinate system in Fusion 360. Normally the post-processor should flag this I believe.

    Also, make sure you have set the work coordinates you will use and that you...

    Re: Dynapath Delta 20 handwheel not working

    leeko,

    With a voltmeter you can check if the handwheel is generating the right signals. The handwheel will produce a sequence of pulses on terminals 3 and 5 as you rotate the wheel. Use the...

    leeko,

    That's it in a nutshell. That temporary zero set is the key to the whole thing.

    Once you set your tool lengths this way then you can use the ref tool to set your work offsets and the end...

    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    Leeko,

    There is no G54 in Dynapath, it uses the work offsets table (E).

    The way I set tool length offsets:
    1) Tool setter (or 123 block with feeler gauge) on table
    2) Reference tool in...

    The disc shaped component is a surge absorber.

    What is your machine? Providing a description or manufacturer/model information would help us give you more specific advice.

  18. Re: Need Help!! Replacing dynapath delta 10 controller

    As Jim said, if your drives are good you can keep them if your new controller supports analog drives with +/- 10 Volt signals.

    What controller do you have in mind to replace the Dynapath?

  19. Re: Need Help!! Replacing dynapath delta 10 controller

    Why do you wish to replace your existing drives? Some servo drives can use the tachometers, others use encoder feedback.

    You'd have to put a scope on the drive signal input to see if this is produces an actual step input and if it's loon enough for the motor to reach steady state speed.
