OK, I went out and pulled out one of my E-440's. Mine have a ten conductor gray ribbon cable. Once strand is red, which I assume is pin "1". As mentioned, there isn't much info on the web.

Jeez Joe, the 20th is right around the corner! Congrats in advance. If you play your cards right you can be playing with little Joe junior next Summer! Keep in touch...

Hi guys. There is a "simpler" version of a parabolic dish (which would also work for a trough). It's called a Cunutt concentrator. Basically it uses a grid of flat mirrors independantly aimed at the...

I've got three of the 1KW motors with the brakes. Still in the boxes, never opened. I've got at least one, and maybe up to three of the 400W motors (they are in storage so I'd need to check). I hate...

Eric,

Hi! The HSR rail must have HSR blocks. In general the parts and pieces are not interchangeable between the different families! According to the tech guys at THK there are subtle differences...

Ken,

A couple of thoughts. First, your linear encoder moves at tool speed, while a motor encoder turns at, you guessed it, motor speed. So if the servo has a 10:1 reduction ahead of the leadscrew,...

Slevy,

Hi! How simple do you want to go and what is your budget? And how are you with understanding electrical schematics? The only way I know to convey the information is via a schematic...

Well I sorted them (there are two or three variants), tested them (a couple of duds) and that's about it. Originally I was going to sell them, but now I'm saving them for a rainy day. I'll find a use...

Hey, it's only useless till you need it. Then it's priceless. Welcome aboard.

Guys,

Hi. One of the benefits of the CNCzone site is the free exchange of ideas and experiences. This works best when we are open minded to the replies others offer, and when we are courteous and...

That's better! Let's see what our other members have to say. I've little experience with the Dremel and have not heard of the Proxxon. Can anyone give Fred some advice?

Hi Fred. I don't want to discourage you, but I'm not sure what you are saying-the English is poor. It is hard to understand. Perhaps you can try again? Just trying to help...

Assuming he's a he, then why not uses a hot, sexy girl mouse to draw him in. Food and sex. Works for primates, works for rodents. But if she somehow broke free you might find yourself with all kinds...

Peanut butter works like a magnet for chipmunks, maybe the mice will like it to!

Evodyne :D

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who goes to extremes to relocate rodentia. I'm sure Noel will appreciate it much more than the "electrocution pad"! I find the whole killing thing re-vole-ting...

Jynxed,

Hi! I have worked in the industrial automation field for many years. The neat part about it is that it is diverse and becoming more so. One area that falls under programmable machinery is,...

Hi Deviant. Can't say I have direct experience. What I can tell you is that they put up six houses down the road using SIP panels. Each came as a "kit" on one or two trucks. I drove by one day and...

David,

Hi. Thanks for sharing your companies offerings. I see you only have three posts, and I'm sure you meant to be helpful, but the rules at cncZone prohibit advertising in the general threads....

Hi Oracle_9. Well, if you can get from a force or a speed of the axis back to a motor rpm, you can figure the drive pulses...say a big stepper directly drives your 5 TPI screw. Takes five motor turns...

Hi guys! Benny & Gerry, thanks for input. I meantioned the belt drive to give our friend another option, but didn't have time that morning to track down the links before work. You guys are great.

Steve,

Can't say I know of any sources for reconditioned units. I have bought several in exactly the size range you are looking for off of eBay. Each was used, but in good shape. My cost for four...

Lionclaw,

Saw a pancake maker on TV, but it was involved (big): a batter tank with a funnel sat over a rotating griddle. The griddle would pause just long enough for a slide valve to open in the...

Oracle_9,

Poke about the sight and look at some of the machines using belt drives. Essentially a long toothed belt is fixed to the table at both ends. Your servo (usually with reduction) or...

Yup!


If you use a pulley arrangement to reduce the speed of the screw relative to the motor, then the motor has to turn that much more to drive the screw the same amount. A 4:1 reduction (with...

Fred,

You have done a fine job! Can you tell us which motor controller and software you will be using? Keep us informed.

I saw this little guy a while back: the uM-FPU Floating Point Coprocessor. You can find it at the Parallax site. Uses SPI to communicate with your processor. It does the floating point stuff, plus...

There are quite a few different drivers. Parallax has some to go with the stamp. Jameco's Robot Store has one or two under the motor control section. Also take a peek at Robot Store HK. Jeffery Kerr...

Karl,

I think you are right on the money. With a cheap logic proble from Radio Shack you can determine the coding.

Without knowing any better, I'm thinking about Hillbilly's comments about a...

Jimini,

Thanks for sharing! Take care.

Medved,

Hi. I bought a couple and am playing around with one now as I write to you. Mine are 120:1 reduction. If I grasp the "output" and try to torque it, I can get it to backdrive and spin the...
