I have recently purchased a used Femco WVL-12 boring mill that has no parameters (dead battery) on the Fanuc 0T controller.

I have a test motor running already, I used a mesa card to talk to the serial encoder and it can retrieve the commutation data from that.
I am using a mesa 8i20 to drive the motor, but just with a...
I am going to be driving some red top Fanuc motors and I have a question about the drive supply voltage.
The motor nameplate voltage section varies on all the motors I am using (48V - 127V) but...
I have a 1 year old version of CNClite for sale. (With USB dongle and both manuals)
Software does not work for our machine and I have no use for it now.

Hi,
I am working on a stepper drive signal generator (Step / Dir) and I have a question about the Step pulse.
What is the most common polarity for a step pulse? Are most at 0V and step at +5? Or...
Is this a dead project at this point?
Did they include a schematic of the drive with it? It looks like it uses a different standby circuit then the rattam and div268n drivers.
You should check the current draw to the drive with an amp...
Where did you get the TB6600 driver from?
Are you running two motors on the same driver?
Has anyone tried this version of the drive?
PiBot TOSHIBA6600 TB6600 0-4.5A stepper motor driver for 3D printer and CNC Better Than A4988,It can drive 0-4.5A current, good heat dissipation to ensure...
The halt does work well, but I am just looking for consistency between machines so it is easy for the operators.
We use a lot of canned drill cycles, so the single block does seem to work better...
Hi Tom,
Would you be able to change KmotionCNC to have a single block function similar to standard industrial controllers? (Fanucs, etc)
I know that there is currently the single step button,...
Is it possible to have KmotionCNC run a start up script when you start the software?
Want I am looking to do is have the amplifiers disabled unless KmotionCNC is running, so I would either need a...
Does anyone here have a dual (rotary & linear encoders on same axis) loop setup with a Kflop that is working well?
I have tuned my single loops (rotary motor encoders) and they work quite well,...
What advice are you looking for?
I have started playing with the Kflop and I have it working well with the Click PLC so now I am back to the motion clamp issue.
I have looked at the gcode interpreter and I am a bit confused at...
Does the interpreter have the ability to do a "finish this line" type of thing or woudl something have to be modified?
I haven't really looked in to the file run part of your code too much yet, but...
I have the origional QBasic code for this machine and the way they do it is by using M15 to set a flag for clamping.
Then the code has a function called SUB DrillCycle (ZVal!, RVal!, FeedRate!)
In...
Thanks Tom,
Currently it is using a galil card and does not disable the amps when the clamps are on. Plus the servos can still move the machine with the clamps since they are not that strong.

I just purchased a Kflop with Kanalog to retro fit on to a large gantry drill.
This machine has old NSK motors in torque mode and linear scales on the X, W(dual drive) and Y axis and a standard ball...
Would you set the motor amplifier in position mode then and use a pulsed output while monitoring the linear scale?
Dave
Thank you.
Can the kflop do dual loop encoder feedback like the galil cards?
On our large machine we have servos with gear boxes and rack/pinion on the X, X1, Y axis and they have linear scales...
If you add that to a class let me know since it will make is alot easier then getting a copy of VC2008 to build the DLL.
I won't be using one of these systems for about a month so I am just...
I have been looking through the source code and the VB interface stuff seems pretty simple and straight forward.
But am I right in assuming that I will need to re-compile the gcode interpreter...
I am working on a large 5 axis plasma table that I will need kinematics for beveling with a 5 axis head so I am looking to use a Kflop for this machine.
I was thinking of using brushless servos...
Where is the download link? I don't see it on the main download page.

Have you looked at adding a stall detect feature that would issue a e-stop or error signal like the one described on this web site?

Looks like a very customizable way to have the acceleration.
Are the drives able to interpolate with each other with different acceleration settings?
Dave
Are the 512 acceleration points some kind of look up table for the accel values?
Dave
Can you give an example of setting up a custom S curve acceleration via UART commands?
Thanks
Dave
Would the user set this up in the pic firmware?
