    I Say "GOOD"

    Good in that, as a new user, if the compnents of motor, driver, power supply, controller and pulse generator are not matched, you will spend a lot more time and money that you might think. I didn't...

    Acceleration?

    Might be set too high. compare your settings to the y axis

    or swap axis cables too see if the stalling follows the hardware.

    Or . You could motorize a micrometer ;-)

    Many optical stages are just that ;-)

    Nothing fancy, just a precision fine thread and a lash free nut.

    Mount the motor/ encoder and CNC to your hearts content ;-)

    do you have your interferometer yet?

    You need that to tell how any tool you may make is performing.

    I have both Fizeau and Twyman-Green in my lab.

    The Eagle PCB application has output suitable for these devices

    At least it works just fine on the IBM XY-750.

    Look through the output types and you will see the correct form. TEWIDATA or similar.

    The Eagle application only uses a subset of all the...

    "Somewhere" there is a script that processes HPGL files

    That allows you to set the number of retraces the plotter/cutter will perform over the workpiece. This feature was designed to cut thicker material.
    I just saw it yesterday as I was browsing the...

    The HP 7475a will work fine if the file outputy is in HPGL format

    A "driver" that allows you to send a file directly to a HPGL printer is nice, but a program that generates the HPGL format file must come first and is all that is required. From a DOS screen,...

    A useful method to evaluate spindle bearing speed capabilities

    Run the present configuration at full speed under "normal" conditions. that is 60 hertz.

    After running about half an hour, test the bearing area for temperature.

    150C would be pretty HOT. ...

  12. OF course it's obvious that a HP7550 does not have an OEM knife holder

    The machine is originally a pen plotter.

    But,the Mimaki style knife blade holders fit the HP pen holder nicely, even if additional securing is a good idea (Like a rubber band, a tie- wrap or best...

    Iron Man That is the information needed

    It appears that the DX series amplifiers (drives) for the motor in question were designed to run at 90-132 VAC input.

    The FX series drives for the same motor are designed for input voltage as low...

    Mike Thank you for the continuity

    Sometimes we fall into the trap of claiming universal improvement due to the perception of some detailed improvement.

    Identity for an Emerson DXM 308 servo motor

  16. BeBob It's not so difficult as you have it.

    Think about "scale" What is it?

    Scale is the number of "motor inputs" required to move the "object" a certain distance. That is, how many revolutions of the motor shaft does it take to move...
  17. ribbon cables were not even considered.

    my bad, but I thought the reference to DB style connectors was sufficient to exclude ribbon cables.

  19. Are computor data cables suitable for encoder wiring?

    I seem to run into situations where having the "right" cable would make a big difference in appearance.

    pc data cables come in so many configurations, 4-5-9-15-28 wires and are easily obtained.

    Set it up in the lathe output shaft chucked up, turn the spindle slowly, observe the response on the o-scope.

    I did that not long ago to take a look at the encoders. I suppose I should have...

    Advancing the possibilities

    Can a DC brushless drive be used to control an originally AC Brushless design motor with only the penalty of slightly decreased performance?
    i.e. V/rpm or Torque/ amp.

    Yaskawa USAREM encoder or amplifier options?
