    I've moved on from my router, but if I remember right, I was able to find it on Colombo's italian site. You could always try Colombo USA as well.
  2. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    Going with the larger servos helped. I also had Teknic remote into my machine and assist with the tuning. It helped quite a bit.

    I wasn't having any issues, it seemed to be working fine.

    That said, I've seen improvements in the quality of cut since the switch.

    Its running on a 20 pitch, 20 degree pressure angle rack.

    Not sure what else you'd need.

  7. Calculating steps per inch - what's wrong with my math??

    Spindle warm up script

    I'd like to create a simple script (executed via a button) that will warm up my spindle at varying speeds for a few minutes at each step.

    I quickly wrote this and have run it without the spindle...
  9. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    Thanks Bridgette!

    I was seeing the issue on both the Y axis (single servo) and the X axis (dual servos). They had been Auto-tuned per Teknic's recommendations and I was still seeing issues.

  10. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    I've played with those settings and don't see any difference. I'm still able to move the servo.

    I'll contact Teknic tomorrow and see if they can provide any assistance.

    Thanks for looking into this Craig.

    Reading this it appears that this setting just sets the HLFB output signal based on the criteria set.

    But I'll try anything at this point!
  12. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    I've been running to auto tune on the gantry servo, it had the same problem. Going on a few hours, still doing something, but this is WAY beyond the normal auto tune run time.
  13. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    About 14:34 into this video the host shows how hard it is to move the servo. That's what I would expect to see.

  14. Re: ClearPath Servos - Do they lock like a stepper

    I would agree Gerry!

    The auto tune feature is pretty simple to go through, not sure what I might have screwed up.

    So i've swapped out my steppers for Clearpath Servos. I've run the through 'autotune' and they're and moving fine.

    Re: Inertia Dynamics Brake

    Yes, I had run the auto tune on the ClearPath, but ran it again last night. Not sure what the difference was, but the auto-tune worked much better the second time around.

    Re: Inertia Dynamics Brake

    Jim, after further investigation, I think the problem may actually the tuning of the ClearPath servo.

    The servo I'm using is a CPM-SDSK-2321S-ELN which has positioning of 1/6400. In the tuning...

    Re: Help with Timer Relay

    I've got a Colombo spindle that has a 220v fan that is independently powered from the spindle motor itself.

    Per the manual, the fan should be on at all times. That seems to be a bit of overkill,...
