Hi guys,

I have managed to get a few delta servo drives and motors but a little overwhelmed by all settings needed to get the drive to work with Mach 3

Drive spec:

Just skimmed over the past 40 pages looking for a auto touchoff that has a double touch... Did I miss it or has it not been posted?

I had a quick attempt at making my own but no luck getting it...

Hi guys,

What is a cheap method for making cast in inserts? I hope to avoid having to have a whole lot made.

Jestah

Thank you so much for you help, to be honest I am only 25 and have no formal training. I have spent 3 years reading different posts on the zone and based my design around my finding and often feel...

Hi Yancho,

Thanks for posting that data, I was going of the info in the index thread that states

E/G and aluminum match well thermal expansion wise and good for embedment of 80/20 etc.<A...

I have added some small holes to run wiring as well as two post tensioning cables but cant help but think a solid block is going to be better for vibration damping than something with a cored centre....

Hi guys,

Bit of shamless cross posting to try to get a few more replys on my thread as I am keen to cast a desktop mill column and base next week but would really like a few more eyes to my rock...

Sorry for the lack of info, I was a bit put off by the task of once again rebuilding my entire design after deciding to cast both the base AND the tower. I expect the casting to be around 270-300kg...

I have read most of the EG thread.... well a good chunk of it any way.

I think there has been 'nuff taking so time to get to casting!!!

No test batches for me... I am diving right in and...

I have been well over 6 months, threeish years to date but have been given very clear end point. I am to far invested in the parts/stock i have and to be honest that is about 99% of the things I will...

wow man, thanks for the encouragement! buying a ready made mill is not an option as I want to build it so I can fix it when it brakes down!

Hi guys,

Thanks a ton for the feed back, I can't thank you guys enough for taking some time out to help me along with this project. I often hit a wall with the design (late nights after work...

Hi readers of the zone,

Been lurking for quite a few years and even started my first build. I May have bitten off more than I could chew trying to build a 1.5tonn cnc router and since settled to...

Hi guys,

I have worked a lot with epoxy but mostly mixed with carbon, glass and wrapped around foam/balsa or other light weight cores. Never mixed it with rocks and sand!

I am keen to work my...

Well I had an other stab this afternoon and still no luck....

I have set the spindle speed in mach3 to 24000 (max for my spindle) and let it rip. The VFD is reading 23200 and the output from the...

I seem to have the same issue to seeing a different speed on mach 3 and on the VFD....

I pulled all the wires and rewired from scratch and managed to get things working well enough for now but if...

Carbon is EVIL, it can not be trapped and gets past most filters.... I have decided to take the pc out of the enclosure and have added 4 cpu heatsink and fans to the underside of the geckos. The fans...

Thanks for that, Ok I am going down to the workshop and grounding every thing. I will post a few photos as to be honest it has turned out FAR better than I expected.

Hi Brtech,

Thanks for the fast reply, I was thinking that sort pigtails were the winner but then got confused while reading one of the many grounding posts suggesting it would be best to tie them...

Thanks a lot for answering many of my questions... After gaining a better grasp of grounding I decided to completely change the layout of my controller.

I have decided to keep the computer in an...

Hi guys,

I have finally built my heat spreader and heatsinks for my gecko 203v with a PMDX 132 connected on top. I have had the system running without the heatsink or spreader just fine.

The...

Could you tell us some more about your settings, what you connected where so we can start trouble shooting. Did you ever get it running from the VFD alone? Also want to check, did you check your...

will do



This is going to be tricky... I am very reluctant to try and have a filtered air input into the case as carbon dust will manage to work its way past even the most robust dust suits we...

Thanks for that reading. I had been under the impression it was EXTREMELY important to make sure that each ground only had a single path back to the star ground point. This had me to thinking that I...

Hi guys,

This is my first cnc project and needless to say it has grown somewhat out of hand... I was planning on making a small desktop router and after a few design changes I am now coming to the...

Hi all,

Well i have spent the past few days trying to get this thing to run and had some wins but over all still not happy...
