Call EMI, they can get you a replacement motor... 610-287-4240

tap the pulley further onto the shaft, sometimes it takes that to bust the collar loose and then you can pull it off.

It is super simple. Their instructions are really straightforward.

Just take the boards out (mark on the BMDC where the red wire is), install the backplane, motherboard, and BMDC, hook...

If I were you I would send yours to Rand Industries (a subsidiary of Rockford ballscrews). They do not make new ones of that, so you will need to get yours rebuilt.

Are you looking for the Z axis ball screw?

Near the feed rate there should be a Feed Rate %. My first thought is that the % is at zero percent, so you wont be getting any movement. But it is just a thought.

When you first power on the...

Ok stupid question... what is the feed rate at?

If you go into the motion testing and start the gain routine, do the axis move? If thats a 2 cabinet 1100 system, that bottom connector is the Z...

Please put up some pictures of the screen. When you get into the control software, what messages does it give? When you hit "Servo RESET" and attempt to move the handles, you cant? But then when...

Call Jerry at Anilam/Heidenhain 716-661-1883 and he should be able to hook you up.

This could be a few different things. First thing I would do is check the BMDC board. Remove it, clean the connector, install it, and power up. Next I would re-load the software. Thirdly, I would...

I would swap the connectors between the Z and X/Y drive card. Make sure the motor and scale connectors both get swapped. Thatll show you if the card is the problem or the motor/scale.

Give EMI a call, 610-287-4240 ext 1 and they can get you hooked up!

Good afternoon,

Yes and no. There is something that is causing the machine to think the home switch has already been actuated. Interesting that all of the axis are doing it at once. Give EMI a...

Give EMI a call, 610-287-4240 they can get you taken care of.

After you get the machine to fail out and give you the DAC error, go into the back cabinet and look to see which axis drive card has a red light on it. If both are lit up, remove CR1 (the ice cube...

The EZ Trak software was never designed to read a 4th axis. The C and S axis were basically setup as spindle and some sort of like air/coolant system. If you wanted a 4th axis readable, you would...

Good morning,

I dont have any of the software, but I just spoke with the OEM and we can still get software for it. Let me know if you are interested.

Good morning,

Your machine could be converted into a 3 axis system, it can be time consuming if it is your first time. Do you have any of the parts for the 3rd axis? The 3rd axis kit is about...

Are these using scales or encoders? I would guess the scale/encoder is going bad, a bad breakout board, or possibly you have some huge amount of error compensation on. Is the BMDC board mounted...

Good morning,

If all you are missing is the BMDC board, it might be worth having someone come out and look at it. When I go out on service calls, I try and take spare parts with me if I have any...

Can you post pictures?

Have someone there to help you (be ready to hit the E Stop) with this to find out which axis is bad. With the servos on, remove the ice cube relay (it's a clear relay about the size of an ice cube)...

The auto tuning doesnt do much, you need to do the manual tuning. There are two pots you can adjust on each motor (well not on the motor, but it is near the motor) that should get rid of that...

Sounds like it at least needs a tuning (gain and balance). Is it a color MillPwr or a black and white MillPwr? Shouldnt take but a few minutes to do.

Jon

Sounds like a good deal. Just know that aside from the bearings, belts, and drawbar everything else on the M head is obsolete.

Whenever customers call us about Sony DRO's/scales, its tough because there just isn't any support out there for it. Might be best to upgrade so you can get some replacement/support for it. On...

Also make sure your 12v is good as well. If you don't know where to check it, I have the sheet from Anilam to show you how.

Are you still having this issue?

What kind do you have? For glass scales we just wipe them with a q-tip dipped in alcohol and then wipe them down with a dry end of a q-tip. Just make sure you aren't dragging any chips or anything...

You can get an Acu-Rite MillPwr that would be able to be put right onto your BridgePort.
