Hello,
I have posted a similar thread on another forum, and have had a lot of help to get where I am but I'm stuck (at what feels like the last hurdle) so thought
I would increase my odds and...
This looks promising, cheers for the info MrWolfe
So as i'm not well up on wiring, I though i'd draw the wiring out 1st and post on here to make double sure I've understood what is needed...I do have a few questions, there are quite a few different...
Hi Gerry,
I've attached another page of the VFD Manual below, is this any better? I got a relay on order so that should be with me tomorrow hopefully...
Great, thank you, don't suppose you know what V1 on my VFD is to do you...?
Hi, yeah I've attached both manuals above with pics of the VFD you must of missed it, lol, thanks for your reply, the problem is I'm a complete novice when it comes to wiring and both manuals are...
Hello,
I'm hoping someone could help me connect my AXBBE up to my VFD, I've seen a few descriptions on here and on YouTube but my VFD is labeled up slightly different so I'm just not 100% sure how...
Ahh thank you, so it's as I thought then, the only way to test the AXBB-E and get the Blue Link Light to stay on is to buy the Licence...Great I'll get it ordered and hopefully up and running As soon...
Hi, some of you may know, I've been building my own CNC Machine since September, after the initial teething problems I encountered and advice from people on here I've managed to get it built. It's...
Hi RCaffin,
I found this Heatsink in an old computer parts box I had, is it ok, do ya think?
One thing I've noticed is the Capacitor is holding a charge for an unthinkable amount of time, when...
Thanks to everyone involved in this thread, I received my Toroidal PS this afternoon, it's been out of stock for two weeks but this is my set-up and after testing it I'm getting 69VDC final output so...
Hi Peteng - Yeah I was originally going for the Switching Type PS, however after reading a bit more into it and advice/info on here I decided to go down the Toroidal PS route.
Rcaffin - I kinda...
So I've found this and from what people have said I think it will be suitable, does anyone have any thoughts before a go ahead and buy it... -...
All great info again guys thanks for this, I'm slowly learning something every day!... Ger, the Inductance for The Motors is 1.8 (+-20%, when wired up in Bipolar Parallel)
Hey guys, I've got all the parts, but the actual Toroidal Transformer ready to buy in my basket, I'm having a big problem trying to find one with similar ratings as the one posted in Gers link on...
I've literally just watched this on Youtube, then I logged in here and you'd posted it, lol, yeah it's a good video and I've found a few more that explain the different ratings so I think i'll be ok....
Asuratman - thank you but I've already got my Stepper Drives...
Ger (or anyone else) it sounds simple enough to build your own and it does look doable, also it would be a lot cheaper - but I...
Hello everyone, once again thank you for the input from everyone, the PS Ger posted was a Toroidal Transformer Power supply which has some benefits over the Switching Power Supply types, the main one...
Does anyone on here know anywhere in UK/Europe i can get the PS (ger shared above) im getting quotes for around £100 delivery from the US...!?
Great advice again everyone, thanks very much for the info, I will get the PS mentioned by Ger, it sounds like a good choice.
Thanks for the link, I know you generally get what you pay for but I've seen this and wondered if it would be suitable/worth it -...
Morning Ger - The drives are - 2.4a-7.2a, 24-100vdc and the Motors are - 5.6a (Bipolar Parallel) 400oz/inc 24-48v, 8 wire Nema23's
Thanks for the info Britt, The AXBB-E sounds like the one for me...
Hi Wizard, the main Priority is definitely the CNC Machine, I love learning, so if I can also learn other skills whilst doing something else then that's a double bonus!
I've decided on the UCCNC...
Hi Olf, I didn't check the manual, no, just what I've read on here and I've seen a few YouTube videos, but I will check it now thanks for the info...
Peet - I like a challenge and although the...
UCCNC looks promising to be honest, I'm just not 100% sure what I'd need, I've seen the AXBB-E but don't really know what else I need regarding any special parts like power supplies, wiriing, etc?...
I will look into UCCNC, i've not heard of it so it wasn't really on my Radar, if it's cheaper and does everything I need then it sounds like it'll be a no brainer, I do think Mach4 is a bit overkill...
Thanks for all the replies, there's some great info here! Thanks to Britt for your detailed reply, it's very informative. I haven't really decided what controllers to use but mainly I've been...
I would say around £1300 - £1500 would be my Max i could go higher but it's only really a hobby Machine at the end of the day so it seems a bit daft to go too much over that, but if I have to, to get...
I've not looked into Servo Motors purely due to reading that they are considerably more costly than standard motors and my budget is tight...
Thanks, guys for your replies I've only purchased an assortment of Screws, 90-degree brackets, the Motors and the Linear Guides/Blocks so far so nothing too extravagant yet. I'm happy to use...
