My current setup is mach 3 operating a lathe. Recently I installed a mpg pendant from cnc4pc and everything seems to work however when I turn the dial to move the z axis it moves the wrong direction....

Does anyone have any info on the dm3000 cnc lathe transformer? Mine is missing the sticker on the top showing what each terminal is. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I found something online...

I actually talked to Arturo from cnc4pc and he mentioned that using a torroidal style power supply I should be good so I may take the plunge and purchase one of those

I found your thread a couple days ago and was wondering the same thing. I guess I just thought the dc power supply would be easy and straight forward haha. I'm just a little confused as to how to add...

I converted a grizzly benchtop mill about 7 years ago to a basic cnc. I have been using the MA860H Stepper Motor Drivers for each axis and was powering each driver with a cheap Chinese 48v 10a power...

Thand for the reply fastest, all I did was remove that little section where it tells the machine to move to a safe position. I already do that in my programs . I can't see any reason it would cause...

I finally got around to wiring up the turret with a new stepper motor. I installed your macro and my turret now moves. Thank you. I am having a weird issue though perhaps I don't have something set...

How will the tool changing macro know which inputs and outputs I have the solenoid, sensors and stepper hooked to? Do I need to put it in the actual macro or is there something in mach 3 that I have...

I know Ill need a 0-10v analog signal to control this beast and I don't think the c10 can do such a thing so I believe ill be looking through my inventory of random boards for one with an analog...

Well Fastest I've stayed patient and was able to nab a bardac for $265. I was able to get power to it along with using the original pot and it turned right on! So far so good. I guess my next task is...

Thanks dan for the reply. I ended up using new steppers anyway and everything seems to be moving smoothly so far

I have an opportunity to get this exact one brand new for $475. Is that a good deal?

The bardac 1600i-001 isolated dc drive. Is that what you have? I just about give up on this dg4s. I went out and bought a 140v dc psu and it's still not working correctly.

I actually think that when I type in any speed that the spindle turns on at its max speed but it's slow considering I'm only giving it 24v. I may be wrong but I think the dg4s driver only has a dc...

Quick update, I fixed the stepper motors from moving on their own. I had to change the steps per and direction per to 2

I have several bugs that need attention. Hopefully you can see something that I'm overlooking.

Upon finally getting the spindle to move, whenever I would use a simple command like g97 s200 m03, it...

Finally got the spindle to move! It's not great but it moves. Many many bugs though to work out.

I searched the internet more today for anything that will help me , I did find a site where the guy was saying he did use the encoder wired to the differential driver on the dg4s so I guess I'm kind...

Well today I worked on it for about 4 hours and it got me nowhere. Very frustrating to say the least. Now I kept thinking but not too sure if this will but see what you think.

The dg4s needs to...

Did you reuse some of the original eletronics for the spindle like shown in the picture? The more I think about this stupid spindle the more I stress myself out. This may be out of my league

I may have a different way to wire this up, instead of using the differential line driver I can use the original heds-6310 but Ill have to try and trace it back. The original heds along with the...

They were all braided like that when I stripped the cable . Here's a picture of the wires going to the motor

Here are some pictures quick of what kind of wires I'm dealing with.

I was unable to luck out and get a hold of a bardac at a decent price and after searching the web I've stumbled across a couple sites where people used the dg4s. I attached the pdf manual for the...

From what I understand yes.

Are you referring to the differential line driver? That gets plugged into the servo driver (dg4s)

Mine isn't the "h" model just a regular dm3000 as far as I know. I will try and hooking it up the way you just explained and see how it goes. As for threading , on my old cnc lathe I was able to wire...

I can't thank you enough! Yes I am still using the original spindle motor sem. I can get specs on it later on if you need

307536Thank you! I'm very thankful you might still have that macro because I'm not familiar at all with writing my own. I've attached a picture of the line driver I had to purchase. It simply...
