Thanks for the help. I resorted to the expedient of disconnecting the wires and then testing again. It is definitely finding the index just fine.
That is an interesting thought, I will have to do some reading up on the subject,
Right now I have a 2kva step down transformer followed by a variable autotransformer, for testing.
I did have...
I looked on the halmeter but I did not see anything other than index enable, which reads FALSE.
I am trying to get the brushless servo motor to home properly.
If a motor winding breaks down to the frame, won't that blow a fuse ?
If every exposed metal part is bonded together and connected to earth ground, how would the operator be shocked?
I have...
Thanks for the input. I am hooking up one of the encoders now and want to test a motor on reduced voltage (for safety) maybe tomorrow.
PCW- So you are saying that with a line derived DC power supply. #1 and #9 chassis gnd connectors and the printed circuit board mounting holes would be
grounded to the green ground wire that...
Thanks for all the responses. I have capacitors to smooth out the DC power.
I am going to power the control PC from machine electrical enclosure, not plug it into the wall outlet.
I am not...
I am supplying my my machine with a rotary phase converter. The spindle VFD (7.5 HP) is the only thing that needs 3 phase. I have been told, on another forum,
that it is a bad idea to use the...
Not to hijack the previous post,but, can I simply use rectified 240 volts to run my 146 volt 20a servo motor? I am using a Mesa 8i20 brushless servo motor drive
that needs a separate DC power...
Thanks a lot for your patient explanation. I got the configuration selector to work now. (I am not sure what I was doing wrong)
It still returns an error that I need to hook up the servo...
Thank you for your response.
Now I can get the sample configurations to attempt to load from the desktop, but they will not finish, I assume it is because I don't have the correct board in the...
I can't get any of the example configurations to run. I got a new ini file and hal file , from a kind person on another web site, and I can not , for the life of me,
find the command to run it. ...
I reloaded the CD and it is working fine now. Thanks.
I believe that I have found the problem . I inadvertently updated to 12.04lts.
What do I do now?
I just downloaded , md5sum, burned ISO and booted the cd in my computer per the instructions on the LINUX CNC web site. I immediately updated to the latest version as described in the instructions.(...
I would guess not strong enough.
Water pipe is pretty soft. If the load were to bounce it might just buckle and come crashing down.
Considering a five foot + span with the load in the...
I got my motor working ,on the bench, using Pico systems pwm controller, brushless servo amplifier and Fanuc encoder converter.
I had a few minor problems but Mr Elson at Pico systems was most...
Thanks Al,
It seems to be working, now, with only the big and small caps hooked up.
I will leave the medium caps disconnected,for now.
Maybe they are leaking, or something.
I probably...
The first pop was because I had the bridge hooked up wrong.
The second and third "pops" I am not sure about.
The ac coming out of the transformer goes straight to the rectifier and is not...
I am bench testing my servo system and put together a dc power supply for it.
When I apply power, the transformer hums and the rectifier pops shortly thereafter.
I have not hooked up the...
thanks for the help. I will have to pick up some more heat shrink tubing.
I am getting ready to solder up my fanuc servo motor encoders with dms3106a20-s9sw connectors.
Do I need to take the individual pins out of the connector to solder them?
I am concerned about...
Thanks, that was the problem. It works great now!
I am trying to do the HAL tutorial, chapter 2, page 10 of the HAL manual 2.3
halcmd loadrt threads just returns an error.
I am not sure where the spaces belong in HAL commands.
I...
Thanks for the response.
I found it! It was in documents.
It only took me about half a day to figure that out !
I have been reading up on the linux filing system, but have not made...
I just downloaded EMC2 and am learning the ropes.
I want to save one of the example programs to use as a starter program to play with.
I clicked save g code as

I want to smash a 3/4 inch copper tube, with a .035 wall thickness, so it has a 2.75 concave radius on one side. The other side needs to have a uniform semicircular convex radius. Kind of a...

Thanks for all the responses. I have a lot of studying to do.
