  1. Re: Mitsubishi Servos. repurposing an automated gluing machine to cnc router.

    Yup, I spoke with the gent selling linux cnc > sscnet cards. He's still working on once compatible with the latest version.
  2. Re: Mitsubishi Servos. repurposing an automated gluing machine to cnc router.

    Might have found a way.... The machine did come wired with this component.

    444248

    It's mentioned in the manual that it can accept external inputs from a pulse generator. Though I am not clear...
  3. Re: Mitsubishi Servos. repurposing an automated gluing machine to cnc router.

    Thank for the correction on the model number. Yes this is what I am finding regarding the Mitsubishi ecosystem being very pricey.
  4. Re: Mitsubishi Servos. repurposing an automated gluing machine to cnc router.

    No step or dir that I could find.
  5. Re: Mitsubishi Servos. repurposing an automated gluing machine to cnc router.

    Wow thanks for the leads.

    Nice thing is that I know the combination of hardware I have works well and the machine moves crazy fast. It just not not take G-code at the moment.

    I did find...

    Hello all. My experience is mostly with hobby grade stuff. Mach3, G540, UCNC, 3D printer board, Steppers, etc.

    I have inherited a custom glue application machine that I wanted to repurpose as a...

    Re: Cathode Wire

    Thank you, Man I feel dumb as this is so obvious. I should wear my glasses more often and maybe I would see that the smudges on the wire are actual specifications...

    Cathode Wire

    Looking for a source or a specification for the cathode (negative?) wire which runs from the laser tube to the power supply. Insulation seems thicker than "typical" 300V wire but not as robust as the...

    Re: Damaged Reci Tube. Salvageable?

    Thanks guys. Took a closer look at all this and decided to scrap it. Looks to me that the outer tube is more than just a protective enclosure which is what I assumed. It's a dumb design that RECI...

    Re: Damaged Reci Tube. Salvageable?

    I am building a custom laser setup to do a very specific kind of engraving which is not commercially available (etching the inside surface of a 1" hollow tube). I am new to this so I was hoping to...

    Do you think it will at least fire to be able to test other components?

    Is it that the gas is gone or the insulation is compromised?

    Damaged Reci Tube. Salvageable?

    Hi All, new here.

    I inherited an old RECI W4 tube which has been sitting in storage for a couple years. It has two broken areas in the glass. First is the water inlet or outlet tube, which I am...

  14. New to me PRO 4824 w/ Servos! build thread?

    Found a listing for an no longer used automated gluing machine which uses a PRO 4824 for the motion components, some Mitsubishi NEMA34 servos and controls. I think it was a good deal at $750 even...

    Linear Rails

    Are linear rails and carriage blocks an interchangeable industry standard? Meaning if I purchase a cheap carriage of the same size to add on to CNCRP's rails would there be potential compatibility...

    Nice! But does setting it up that way lose out on the servos advantage. As I understand it those motors don't have "steps".

    To those that have them,

    What do you use to control them? As I understand they would typically have a equivalent to a stepper driver. Do those connect similarly to some of the common electronics /...

    Servos

    Anyone running them? What are the pros or cons for this type of machine?
  20. Re: CNCRP 48x48 Pro for machining aluminum?

    Robert,

    Do you have any impression on your new machines on cutting aluminum in comparison to your tormach as a reference. I am curious on the speeds / depth of cut / surface finish capability.
  21. Re: CNCRP 48x48 Pro for machining aluminum?

    That sounds like the right way to do it! I tend to do things on the cheap but functional
  22. Re: CNCRP 48x48 Pro for machining aluminum?

    I do for the most part .125 or .09 DOC at 80 imp, using 1/4 mills. I have also done full length 1” DOC super light 0.001 WOD finishing passes. I don’t do many repeat parts to be able to optimize the...
  23. Re: CNCRP 48x48 Pro for machining aluminum?

    Thanks, I got tired of soaking my spoilboard with coolant and wd40. I used to have it set lower where I would not have to remove my vice when putting the spoilboard back. Unfortunately the long reach...
  24. Re: CNCRP 48x48 Pro for machining aluminum?

    I make a lot of 6061 parts on my Pro4848. I have divided my machine so that a section in the front has a removable spoil board for cutting metal. I mount my vices directly to the frame and the...
  25. Re: Actual experience with V-con vs Linear Rails - Rigidity

    Thanks for the input!

    My accuracy is actually quite good and better than I would expect. As I am mostly cutting aluminum now I am wondering if upgrading to linear rails will allow me to move a...
  26. Re: Actual experience with V-con vs Linear Rails - Rigidity

    Yeah finding someone who can compare the two (that is not interested in selling) is hard.

    If you look closely at the image. I have a 3 8040 extrusions running perpendicular to the beds...
  27. Actual experience with V-con vs Linear Rails - Rigidity

    Gents,

    Never gave rigidity much thought until now that I have been cutting more aluminum. I came with a concept of having a metal cutting compartment underneath a section of removable spoilboard....
  28. Re: Opinions on "router" vs "mill" on aluminum parts

    Those are certainly the right tools, but out of reach at the moment. Not so much the cost but the need to fit it through a standard residential basement door... I ran the part on the pro4848 and was...
