Zsolt, Sadly I did not find an English Manual. I was in contact with someone years ago in Great Britain but they thought they had a manual, I paid for it and then they got back to me as the...

Thanks for taking the time to respond to this email. I think you are correct as I can find 200 used computers on ebay with printer ports and XP. That will be the most simple way to get my Mill up...

It has been awhile since I have posted or been active on this form. The issue at hand is that the 16 year old 150MHZ computer on my conversion has crashed. The computer that ran the mill was an...

I have copied the manual for pin 5 into this reply. If you don't have pin 5 jumpered to pin 7 5V+ then the drive will not power up waiting for a command from Mach. As stated if it is left open then...

The 320X has a halt when missed steps occur. This is part of the drive and a jumper is installed between I think... terminals 5 and 7. as a self reset. The issue here is that when 1 drive misses...

Update.

Today I installed a .01Uf ceramic capacitor across the 5 volt + and - terminals at the encoder on the X axis and ran a test to move the table back and forth 4 inches 10 times. All was...

I had a little bit of time here to play with this Z axis. First off I have the encoders and servo motors connected to the control cabinet with Amphenol plugs. So I just switched the Z to the Y ...

Just developed a problem with my Z axis in the down ward motion. The Z on my machine moves the entire table up and down. Weight is about 150 LBS with vise.

Going up no problem (Z-) but going...

Could you PM me?

I have a file. Last year I tried to installed their DRO board when I use my mill in manual but ran into problems. There was no support. I am not sure if I am allowed to post...

After reading the G320X manual again I looked at the drive indicator lights.

Each time the drive stopped it showed a red light.

Which is an error light and can mean any of the following.

Been a while since I visted the forms.

Have a converted TOS FN20 Milling machine that I have running on Mach3 software.

Using DC 72 Volt Servos with ATM 103 encoders.

Drives are Gecko G320X....

Well I have been at this all week in my spare time and have not gotten anywhere. I sent an email to Romaxx on Wednesday no reply. I suspect that they no longer support this product. In all...

From what I have read about this board it runs two comparitors. Mach3 gives the instruction to move the axis to a new position and the interface board waits for the encoder to display the position...

I spent an hour trying to generate a tool path.

Then I saw this post and used pocket in MOP rather than profile.

Worked.

Thanks so much for the input.

You have to go back to the polarity and the pull up resistor. By reversing the polarity the light or LED will not work but this should cause the light to go out.

I had a little time this weekend and ran the CamBam program for the Hex socket.

I did take a video in 4 segments, but the first 3 corupted so all I have left is the last 22 second clip of the...

Thanks for the push in the right direction. I am new to all of this and have only used the Wizards in Mach3 and modified a small amount of G Code with a .tap extension.

This program is easy to...

The reason I picked profile was only to cut a groove and let the slug drop out of the bottom of the stock. Being new this a pocket will remove all of the stock in the hex which will have more...

I took some pictures and have posted below.

I was able to generate a tool path.

Max Z -.8" depth increment of .020" but when I rotate the drawing it only shows 1 tool path. What have I...

I am going to start this little project again.

I down loaded the newer version of Cambam and will review the tutorials that have been posted in this thread and see where it gets me.

Watching...

If I wasn't doing something wrong I would not be posting.

Al, years ago when I was an apprentice I worked with a snarly old Scot, that made this statement.

We Live to our space. He went on to say that if at 18 years old someone would give you a 100,000...

In simple terms no.

What is required is that the sand must be squeezed the the clay. This forces each sand grain to be totally covered or surrounded by the clay and oil. Just using a batch...

Mine is in the control cabinet with the computer. The computer is open and not in a case of any kind. The cabinet is cooled with 2 5" fans I purchased off of ebay for $12 each. I use a section...

If you are casting aluminum try using petro bonded sand.

I get an amazing finish using this product.

Been waiting for this a long time.

Certainly worth the wait.

Nice going "j", very impressive.

Keep us posted.

The Tecktronics 465 I purchased used at a used electronic warehouse in Phonix Az for $200 with 2 sets of leads. There is a lot on the machine and it takes a bit to get to know what knob to turn.
