Ok, So I am trying a Fanuc 4-axis post. The machine def seemed to stay the same and I'm not so sure its wrong for my DIY table. I have attached a picture of My definition.

Hi all,

I am trying to add a 4th axis to my DIY router table that will rotate around the X-Axis in order to make some simple roller wheels. My table is a typical gantry style running Mach3, and...

Hi Guys,

I have a scratch built Router table that measures 8'x4', with a work area of about 7'x3' and have made yet another upgrade to my drive system. I am in the process of calibrating all 3...

I have used the "MachBlue-probing big tex" screenset and it works great. I think I picked it up somewhere here in the forums a while back.

Are you still looking for info on these steppers? I am using the exact same on my CNC router table. I use controllers from Berger Lahr to run them and they work great. If you are still looking for a...

Hi,

First off let me state that I am new to MasterCam but am trying to learn it at my friends shop in my spare time.

I am trying to create a toolpath for a part in MCx5 that was drawn in...

Sorry guys the air line I was referring too is called "Loc Line". If you do a quick search on Grainger's website it will come up. Or go to page 3194 in their catalog. This is what I'm going to use on...

Check out this stuff. It works great is easily controlled and stays were you put it. just run your flex coil to it and then you have great control at the tool. you can run air or liquid through it...

Just my 2cents.

I am running some 4nm AC stepper motors with unshielded cable and when I tried to hook up some limit switches they would trip constantly even when the signal wire came within a...

I suppose I will look into why it wasnt working on the negative side of the inputs. I will also try to detirmine what kind of loads I am putting on the parallel port. I will install another port and...

I got it!!!!

I was trying everything tonight trying to get this thing going and was starting to get very fustrated. I found my computer scope and was checking signals and seeing that I did indeed...

Well I got everything hooked up, I think, and it doesn't seem to want the work. The stepper goes solid as soon as I power up the driver and it goes into ready mode. But while the stepper looks like...

Irving,

Thanks again your your quick responses. I only suggested connecting all the enable pins to one output after reading the Mach3 manual and the following statement within the output signals...

Thanks Irving2008,

So based on the attached image I should be able to use the negative step and direction pulses, set in Mach3, connected directly to the appropriate driver input and then use a...

After looking at the inputs on the controller I noticed that it has + step/direction pins as well as - step/direction pins. Now I am wondering if I can use one or the other set in Mach3. I know Mach...

Are you still looking for another controller? I may have an extra one for sell (WDM3-004.1801) similar to yours. I see the one you have is a single stepper controller while the one I have available...

Hello,

First let me state that I am trying to make this project using most if not all used parts salvaged from decommissioned equipment and my cash budget is basically Zero.

That being said I...

Yes please I understand you mostly but I just dont understand the hookup of the curcuit that you sent me.

Thank you,
Mark

That looks very precise, Nice work, I only hope to have something like this eventually, but alas, I must build it myself (Mostly for self gratification).

Candle I am not sure that I understand these instructions.

Well per advise that I received here I decided to eventually use my 5630 drivers and have purchased another Pacifis S. 5630 Stepper...

Thank you Candle for the schematic, I will try to find the parts and build it when I get the time. Just one question, is J2 connected the the Parallel port on my computer and J3 connected to the...

Thank you all for the advice,

I am competent with electronics and have evan made my own PCB's, I just need schematics to go off of.

Candle, I like your advice about holding onto the driver,...

I found the manual for the driver and the diagram is posted below. Could the "indexer" be a Computer running CNC software? I have 4 motors total all simular (1 is only 3 stacks, 3 have 4 stacks). I...

I recently came across some Stepper motors, drives, and power supplies for free (rescued from scrap). I am anxious to build a 3 or 4 axis CNC machine (Possibly joe2000chevy's great new Machine).
