What was your true actual cost for the centroid control set up for you router, and its installation and hook up to your existing servo drives and motors?
So what is a better Servo at 1500 RPM max, an AC digital or an old school DC with brushes?
I am going to retro fit my gantry cutting torch to higher power servo motors in the X axis so that I can maximize the output of a plasma torch. Now it has WESTAMP DC servo motors on it that are...
On Automation Direct web site, they have stepper motor and Micro Stepping drive. The literature lists that it can be programmed to 51,200 steps per revolution. Is this actual movement or theory?

On a servo motor the encoder resolution can be divided by 360 to determine the degrees of movement in one mark, Is a stepper motor capable of movements as small as a servo with 2500 lines, with...
Never had the opportunity to run one or actually touch one, but have heard that they are extremely well built iron.
This machine is 18 years old so a retro fit should only be done if it has very...
I want to up grade the servo motors and drives on the X axis gantry, master and slave. Yaskawa has an auto tune Sigma 5, I was reading the manual on sure servo and they have adaptive auto tune PI...
Go to Dorian Tool International web site and down load master catalog. they have lay down inserts in topping that are for a specific thread and they also have 60 degree not topping that will cut a...

I went online and found SFM calculator. at 2720 RPM you are at 178 SFM on 1/4" and 356 on 1/2" end mills. Coated carbide on my CNC is normally run about 500-900 SFM without coolant and the chips are...
Thank You
I was reading the whistles and bells on a burning machine literature and it said that to square a job to a twisted part, you touched off on the corner, then moved to the next corner, and...
I set a 4" thick plate on the cutting table and it was not perfect square to the X and Y axis, and at 7000 lbs it was to heavy to square up with a bar. Is there an easy way to insert a G or M code in...
My Cent 6 on RH 30 using Gibbs Cam posts a file name with a .NCF behind it, I think this stands for numerical control file. Don't know how current your software is but to switch to full dos file...
high speed steel end mill is good but you need to run it about 40 to 45 surface feet per minute. It can take a fairly heavy cut, about 0.0015 per tooth. is this on a manual Bridgeport style or a CNC...
Look on the Camsoft website under specials, The CS 203 has a good motion card, and a 17" touch screen monitor. Look at the CS 204 and you will see a heavy duty hand held remote. Having this remote...

There are a lot of people that can make a CNC do some fancy stuff, that do not have even a remote idea what happens behind the curtain. The last line in the Cam Soft post...
You have a Chinese mill, I took some scrap cast iron to the recycle center the other day and got 0.11 cents a pound.
this might be worth a trip.
Good Luck with your endeavor

It sounds like you need to call FANUC USA in Chicago, they have several controls for different kinds of machines. They have large staff of engineers, software writers, and onsite tech support. The...
are you using peck drill, feed in and rapid out, wood pecker drill? I had to take the Z axis backlash out of the control to make my RH 30 quit hanging up. As long as it was programmed in Milltronics...
Check out Dorian Tool international in East Bernard Texas, knurling is one of their specialties
Good Luck
The Farmer,
What kind of parts do you make or industry served? what is your definition of a 3D part, multi level pockets or full blown mold work, like an elliptical concave with reverse letters in the side? If...
After you make your purchase and get your machine set up and running, The best money you could ever spend would be to go to Milltronics factory in Minnesota and take the CNC control training class. I...
Discovered something new today. When I jog away to lift parts off of table, I would turn off the jog function. after sitting an hour or more the machine would start to drift. at this point there is...
this would be on paper 2D during the preliminary design phase. If you would draw a rectangle with X and Y zero in the center and then tilt it upward 27 degrees from the bottom left corner.
Thank...
Yaskawa Sigma 5
Look on web site and call tech support in Chicago. They will tell you if and how to connect their drives to your CNC Control. Have them in all of my Milltronics and the ones built...
I am new to Alibre and was wondering how to rotate a 2D drawing around a point? Kinda like simulating a lifting link arm in up and down position.

I have gantry oxy fuel torch with 2 X axis motors master and slave. Cam Soft Pro, Hewlitt Packard Desk top with XP and the 4 axis card with out additional encoder inputs, not the hot rod good one. ...
Go with the 40 taper. you can change your drawbar and use CAT 40 tool holders which are most popular The NMTB has a neck on the top and the CAT uses a retention stud on CNC's with auto tool changer....
